At the time of the Greg Dortch signing in early August, he was considered by many to be just a camp body. Christian Kirk was sidelined with a “minor” injury and now former Cardinal Rico Gafford was on the Reserve/COVID-19 list at the time. The Cardinals needed an extra pair of hands and got it with this addition.
Now after his eye-catching performances through the first two preseason games, Dortch is making a strong case at a Cardinals’ 53-man roster spot.
So far, he has hauled in all five of his targets for 71 yards.
Though his stats are not very marveling, Dortch was easily the Cardinals’ second-best receiver after Rondale Moore this preseason.
He made an incredible 20-yard catch in traffic with a defender all over him against the Dallas Cowboys as well as a 19-yard bobbling catch with good concentration against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Dortch may be small, standing at 5-foot-7 and 175 pounds, but all he has done is made plays throughout training camp and the preseason when he was presented with opportunities.
DeAndre Hopkins, A.J. Green, Christian Kirk, and Rondale Moore are the only receivers that are guaranteed roster spots. That leaves two or even three more receiver spots available with the Cardinals.
The spotlight is on Greg Dortch. He is turning heads. The final week of the preseason is upon us as the Cardinals faceoff against the New Orleans Saints on August 28 at 8 P.M. EDT.
This is his time to shine as he is making a legitimately strong case for a 53-man roster spot.
9 Titans, including Vrabel and Tannehill, have tested positive. Didn't they have a big a outbreak(s) last season that caused a couple of games on like Tuesdays and Wednesdays?
Yes. The Titans were the first or among the first teams that had to miss a game because of COVID. The NFL used the Titans as an example of how NOT run the team to convince others to take COVID precautions.
Ravens RB JK Dobbins out for the season.
Gus Edwards and Justice Hill also on the roster.
meh there are better handcuffs than Ty’son, definitely going to try to draft Gus though
Drafting before the 53 man rosters are even set should be banned.
my draft is tonight and was thinking that, but also concerned this is Gus' peak value. If they bring in a Gurley, who has already visited, Gus will not get nearly the volume he is currently projected.
