The Jets are a little more than a week into training camp, with the annual Green and White scrimmage set for Saturday night at Rutgers University. So ahead of that major camp milestone, it's worth taking a step back and asking: How have the team's six practices affected the roster? What's changed since the start of preseason?

QUARTERBACKS (3)

Retained: Josh McCown, Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Darnold

Cut: Nobody

Analysis: The starting job remains wide open and none of these quarterbacks have played even close to poorly enough to warrant a cut. Trading either McCown or Bridgewater down the road remains a possibility, but for now it makes sense to just keep all three QBs.

Don't Edit

RUNNING BACKS (4)

Retained: Bilal Powell, Isaiah Crowell, Trenton Cannon, Dimitri Flowers (fullback)

Cut: Thomas Rawls, George Atkinson, Lawrence Thomas (fullback)

Injured reserve: Eli McGuire (foot)

Analysis: Cannon has looked shown flashes of potential throughout camp and seems to be capitalizing on McGuire's injury. This depends on McGuire being put on IR, though; he should be back around the start of the regular season – or shortly thereafter – so the Jets may not want to burn a "designated to return" tag on him. But the Jets could also keep Cannon as a kick and punt returner. If they opt to keep both Cannon and McGuire on the 53-man, both fullbacks could end up in trouble.

TIGHT ENDS (3)

Retained: Chris Herndon, Jordan Leggett, Eric Tomlinson

Cut: Neal Sterling, Bucky Hodges, Clive Walford

Analysis: Tomlinson's spot is fairly secure as the best blocking tight end of that group. Herndon and Leggett should both make the team barring catastrophe, too – the question is which won wins the starting job.

WIDE RECEIVER (7)

Retained: Robby Anderson, Quincy Enunwa, Terrelle Pryor, Jermaine Kearse, Chad Hansen, Andre Roberts, Charles Johnson

Cut: Jonah Trinnaman, Lucky Whitehead, Tre McBride, Charone Peake

Suspended: ArDarius Stewart (two games, PEDs)

Analysis: Roberts is likely the leader in the clubhouse for return duties; he was signed as a free agent this offseason with that role in mind. Stewart's suspension opens up a spot, at least early in the season. Among the fringe receivers, Johnson has looked the best in camp so far – though it's by no means a runaway. Whitehead is probably the next man up.

OFFENSIVE LINEMEN (9)

Retained: Kelvin Beachum, James Carpenter, Spencer Long, Brian Winters, Brandon Shell, Ben Ijalana, Dakota Dozier, Brent Qvale, Jonotthan Harrison

Cut: Travis Swanson, Dakoda Shepley, Ben Braden, Austin Golson, Antonio Garcia, Darius James

Analysis: Swanson and Harrison are battling for the backup center job, but Harrison has the distinct advantage of being versatile; he can also play guard, which probably gives him a leg up.

Don't Edit

DEFENSIVE LINEMEN (6)

Retained: Henry Anderson, Foley Fatukasi, Nathan Shepherd, Mike Pennel, Leonard Williams, Steve McLendon

Cut: Mych Thomas, Deon Simon, Xavier Cooper, Shaneil Jenkins

Analysis: Cooper has been banged up and missed some practice time, which hasn't helped his case. Shepherd and Anderson have had solid camps opposite Williams at defensive end. Fatukasi hasn't really stood out – good or bad. He's penciled in for now, but is a potential practice squad candidate.

Don't Edit

LINEBACKERS (8)

Retained: Jordan Jenkins, Darron Lee, Josh Martin, Lorenzo Mauldin, Kevin Minter, Kevin Pierre-Louis, Avery Williamson, David Bass

Cut: Brandon Copeland, Obum Gwacham, Neville Hewitt, Frankie Luvu, Anthony Wint

Suspended: Dylan Donahue (TBD)

Analysis: Mauldin, a former third-round pick, has finally started to show some of his potential during this camp. Donahue isn't currently suspended, but his second DUI case is expected to wrap up shortly, clearing the way for the NFL to impose its own discipline. Good chance that comes before the season starts and Donahue begins the year not counting toward the 53-man roster.

SAFETIES (4)

Retained: Jamal Adams, Marcus Maye, Doug Middleton, Terrence Brooks

Cut: Kacy Rodgers II, J.J. Wilcox, Brandon Bryant

PUP List: Rontez Miles (knee)

Analysis: Going with eight linebackers frees the Jets up to hold onto four safeties. Doug Middleton has been a breakout star of camp and has the ability to play both strong and free safety, which should help him make the cut.

Don't Edit

CORNERBACKS (6)

Retained: Parry Nickerson, Trumaine Johnson, Derrick Jones, Darryl Roberts, Morris Claiborne, Buster Skrine

Cut: Terrell Sinkfield, Xavier Coleman, Rashard Robinson, Jeremy Clark, Juston Burris

Analysis: Jones has – at least for now – played his way onto this roster with a fantastic start to camp that has earned plaudits from Todd Bowles and Mike Maccagnan in the early going.

Don't Edit

KICKERS (1)

Retained: Cairo Santos

Cut: Taylor Bertolet

Analysis: It would be a surprise if this went any other way.

Don't Edit

PUNTERS (1)

Retained: Lachlan Edwards

Cut: Nobody

Analysis: There's only one punter on the roster to begin with.

LONG SNAPPERS (1)

Retained: Thomas Hennessy

Cut: Nobody

Analysis: Same situation here.

Don't Edit

KICK RETURNERS (1*)

Andre Roberts – who is already on the roster as a wide receiver – is the likely kickoff returner as of now.

Don't Edit

PUNT RETURNERS (1*)

Roberts is the likely punt man as of now, too.

Don't Edit

Will Bowles survive to see 2019?

Yes, both Bowles and general manager Mike Maccagnan will stick around for at least one more season. We projcet that the Jets will go 7-9 this season, which will be good enough for both to survive – especially since they are both under contract through 2020.

Of course, if they opt to start Darnold, that could impact the record – due to the inevitable rookie bumps and hiccups – but that scenario would be excusable too, given the long-term benefits.
