Will play: Wedington, Sarell, Little
Will likely play: St. Brown, Parkinson
Good chance: Adebo
Small chance: Lund
Redshirt: the rest
St. Brown is currently injured (hip pointer?) so it depends on how quickly he gets healthy. Parkinson is purely a flex tight end at his current size, but might be too good to keep off the field. Adebo could be special, but we're extremely deep at CB right now (Holder and Meeks starting, Murphy and Alexander with a ton of experience as backups, and Antoine pushing for playing time at nickel, let alone Eboh who has had positive reviews so far). Lund brings a special skill to the table as a power back, but will that be enough to burn his shirt? The alternative is some mix of Speights and Scarlett, neither of whom are close to Lund's size, or Marx, who is even larger but not as quick.
Of the rest, Mills is still recovering from injury, and we always redshirt QBs, even if they're Andrew Luck. DL always need time to get both the strength and the technique to play at the level required, and Johnson and Wade-Perry aren't there yet (in spite of Wade-Perry's size). Head needs to put on weight, and would probably only be special teams given we already have a solid two-deep at safety (Reid locking down one spot, Simmons currently holding off Buncom at the other, and Edwards hanging around too). Dalman obviously isn't needed yet at center, and Fisk is behind the other four scholarship TEs. The two kids returning from their mission will redshirt to get back up to speed.
