Training camp is now in full swing for the Washington Redskins. Here’s a look at the roster bubble as it stands and which players are in or out.

The battle for the 53-man roster unofficially began on July 26 when the Washington Redskins reported to camp. With 90 men currently on the unit, 37 will have to be cut before Week 1 of the NFL season. Almost all of these will occur on cut day, but it’s never to early to start assessing who might be on the roster bubble.

Roster bubbles are notoriously difficult to figure out. Last season, nobody had Stefan McClure near the roster bubble, and he actually made the 53-man squad. But generally speaking, there are players whose roster spots are locked in, players who stand virtually no shot of making the team, and then, there are the 20 or so guys that are truly on the bubble.

This year, the Redskins are flush with talent (at least for the moment) so they are going to be faced with some tough decisions. In our first installment of bubble rankings, we’ll take a look at who the last five players that make the roster will be, and who the first five out will be.

Obviously, these are not set in stone. We’ll continue to update and debate about the roster bubble for the month and a half to come. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride.
