The original 53 man roster included Lacy, Starks, Burks, Ripkowski and Montgomery (yes, I think they viewed him as a future RB at that time, because they did last year.) That group was revised just a few days later when they got Jhurell Pressley off waivers and released Burks. Jackson was signed in the original group of practice squad players. So, they went into the season with three legit RBs on the roster plus Montgomery and Ripkowski, with Jackson on the practice squad.
