Roderick Johnson, tackle quarterback Dustin Crum, leave behind Tyne Fleet-Davis,

wide receiver Aaron Parker and linebacker Mike.

[{"selector":"#anim-ed8384bf-b032-4a2a-b26a-f03ed32185d7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-40.79674013651268%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

With the possible exceptions of Johnson and Rose, none of these moves are surprising.

[{"selector":"#anim-b3e601ba-ce34-4e5e-a750-cb950d592101 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-29.356411548428557%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

There were some first-team snaps during training camp, while Orlando Brown Jr. was left to tackle.

[{"selector":"#anim-7ad9ab41-b177-4f4a-adc0-14ff52a0fe80 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-22.925646294852683%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

But since then, the team has appeared to show more side to deal with Garon Christian,

[{"selector":"#anim-ad9cc29b-346f-4a0b-b3f3-d149ff38197f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-24.353448199245946%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

who we expect to make the final preliminary 53-man roster as the team's swing tackle.

[{"selector":"#anim-97b51509-cac9-4973-a75c-708f07809d87 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-21.874999829338588%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Rose joined the team as a free agent out of Iowa State

[{"selector":"#anim-f3d8e041-9566-43db-b06b-71f31edde90d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-40.94827569604106%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

after last spring's NFL Draft. He stood out to some observers,

[{"selector":"#anim-dbd5cfbb-22e1-4e9a-b0e0-822d9d001fed [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-27.94660552154174%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

but not many expected him to make it to the team's 53-man roster.

[{"selector":"#anim-87d14703-75f8-4890-8706-003e04e9262d [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-31.249999886225726%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

These moves make the roster 75. The team will have to reduce its roster to 53 players by 3 pm.
