With two preseason games in the book, this is a good time to assess the New York Jets' personnel, projecting the 53-man roster. As Bill Parcells used to say, I reserve the right to change my mind.

Quarterback (4): Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Bryce Petty, Christian Hackenberg

There's a lot of anti-Geno sentiment out there, but it makes little sense to jettison their only experienced backup. Petty earned a roster spot on Friday night and deserves to be in the conversation for the No. 2 job, but he's still a risk because he has no regular-season experience. As odd as it seems, the Jets will probably keep four quarterbacks.

Running back (4): Matt Forte, Bilal Powell, Khiry Robinson, Tommy Bohanon

Forte (hamstring) and Robinson (leg) have yet to play a down in the preseason; this will be a big week for both players. Ideally, you'd like to see them get a few reps against the New York Giants. Because of injuries, there's not much competition beyond the top four.

Wide receiver (6): Brandon Marshall, Eric Decker, Quincy Enunwa, Kenbrell Thompkins, Jalin Marshall, Robby Anderson

Jalin Marshall, Anderson and draft pick Charone Peake are battling for the final two spots. We'd like to keep seven, but it's tough when you're carrying four quarterbacks. Marshall has added value because of his return ability. Devin Smith will begin the season on the physically unable to perform list.

Tight end (2): Kellen Davis, Jace Amaro

There are no gimmes at this position, and it's not because they're loaded. They can get away with only two because Enunwa can play the tight-end role on passing downs. Brandon Bostick, who started against the Washington Redskins, is the only one who didn't drop a pass or fumble.

Center (2): Nick Mangold, Wesley Johnson

Johnson started for the resting Mangold on Friday and held up reasonably well. He's the only backup with regular-season experience, which gives him an edge.

Guard/tackle (8): Ryan Clady, James Carpenter, Brian Winters, Breno Giacomini, Ben Ijalana, Brent Qvale, Dakota Dozier, Brandon Shell

I'm not ready to abandon Giacomini (back) just yet, but this is an important week for him. He needs to get on the practice field. The fallback options are Ijalana and Qvale, who alternated series on Friday night. Shell won't see the field in 2016, but they won't cut a fourth-round pick.

Defensive line (5): Muhammad Wilkerson, Leonard Williams, Steve McLendon, Jarvis Jenkins, Deon Simon

Sheldon Richardson isn't on the list because he's suspended for the first game. They can swap him for Simon in Week 2, although Simon flashed on a few plays against Washington. Simon and McLendon are the only nose tackles among the group.

Linebacker (9): David Harris, Erin Henderson, Lorenzo Mauldin, Jordan Jenkins, Darron Lee, Bruce Carter, Freddie Bishop, Mike Catapano, Trevor Reilly

This is the hardest position to forecast because of the uncertainty at outside linebacker, with Bishop, Catapano, Reilly and Josh Martin battling for spots. Special-teams ability could be the tiebreaker, which is why I'm giving a slight edge to Reilly.

Cornerback (6): Darrelle Revis, Buster Skrine, Marcus Williams, Dee Milliner, Juston Burris, Darryl Morris

Morris gets the nod over Dexter McDougle because McDougle (hamstring) can't stay on the field. Milliner, too, is injury prone, placing a premium on good depth.

Safety (4): Marcus Gilchrist, Calvin Pryor, Rontez Miles, Ronald Martin

I don't think Miles and Martin are etched in stone, so you could see some movement on the final cut. Undrafted rookie Doug Middleton flashed early, but got hurt and could be a practice-squad candidate.

Specialists (3): Nick Folk, Lachland Edwards, Tanner Purdum

Rookie kicker Ross Martin might have a future in the NFL, but the future isn't now, not with two missed field goals and a missed PAT.
