What has Ross Travis done this preseason to earn a roster spot?

I want to like Travis and I see a ton of potential there.

But at this point he hasn't actually earned it on the field. I'm not sure if he's still practice squad eligible (he might be), but if he is I think you have to try to find a way to get him there.

Because you're right - I haven't seen anything to indicate that he should make the team at this point. Meanwhile Harris has been one of the best players on the offense all camp and it's carried into the pre-season. He's definitely played his way onto the squad.

Escobar provides insurance in the event that Harris has to sit 2-4 games. And if they're going to keep 4 HBs, they can't also keep 4 TEs. Hell, they might not be able to keep 4 of either if they also want to keep Robinson and/or Jones. There's going to be a roster crunch among those 3 positions and they ain't keeping 14-15 guys on the roster for those spots.

Travis has less than 2 accrued seasons so from my understanding, he's eligible for the PS.

I had really hoped to see a major improvement this preseason, as he'd been here in LA working with Tony Gonzalez and Jay Glazer but it certainly hasn't translated to the field to this point.
