The Washington Redskins are going to have to cut their roster down to 53 soon. Here’s our best guess as to how that will shake out after final cuts on Saturday.

Quarterback (2)

Keeping: Alex Smith, Colt McCoy

Notable Cut: Kevin Hogan

Smith and McCoy have been locked onto the roster since they signed their respective contracts with the team. Hogan has not been. That said, while Hogan is still being cut in this roster prediction, there is a chance that the team could opt to keep him around on the practice squad.

Hogan had a solid performance in the third preseason game and provided a nice break from the generally woeful effort of the rest of the team. He tossed two nice TD passes and looked to have some potential.

However, in the preseason finale, Hogan played well in the first half before making numerous mistakes in the second half. It just doesn’t seem likely that he will make the practice squad, so obviously, we won’t entertain the idea of him somehow sneaking onto the 53-man roster, especially when Nate Sudfeld (a superior player to Hogan) couldn’t do that last season.
