“We’re evaluating what you did in the meeting room,” he told reporters before the team’s practice on Monday, “[along with] what you’re doing in the walk-throughs — and on the field. At the end of the day, we want our players to make [deciding on the final 53] as tough a decision as we have to make.

“They also need to understand — and I reminded them — it’s not about being out there playing your particular position. It’s all about, ‘What are you
