Updated Jets 53-man roster projection: Who is in, out after 2nd preseason game vs. Redskins? | Stypulkoski's predictions

Retained: Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold

Cut: Nobody

Analysis: At this point, Darnold seems to be the likely Week 1 starter. That makes one of the other two quarterbacks – most likely Bridgewater – expendable. But when might the Jets strike a trade? It will probably take an injury elsewhere in the league. It could still happen before the regular season starts, but if not, Bridgewater will likely start on the Jets' roster until the time comes.

Retained: Bilal Powell, Isaiah Crowell, Eli McGuire (short-term IR/foot), Trenton Cannon, Lawrence Thomas (fullback)

Cut: George Atkinson, Thomas Rawls, Dimitri Flowers (fullback)

Analysis: Thomas and Flowers are still battling it out, but Flowers has been hurt lately and is a good practice squad candidate, so the Jets may try to stash him there.
