I just have a hunch they might roll with Herndon as he got lots of attention at his pro-day from a number of NFL teams. I have a feeling he'd not clear waivers to make the PS.
The Harrison addition also makes it tougher to keep Wilson. I like Wilson's contribution though. Tough call.
If they part with one of Meeks or Herndon I feel its Meeks unless he turns the tide tomorrow in Tampa.
They've both had some good PBUs this preseason.
What has Davis shown to make you think he deserves/earned a spot over Wilson, Meeks or Herndon?
I'd rather keep young guys with upside over somebody who was hit his peak and isn't anywhere close to even being average.
Not much, really. Just keeps being referred to as a core special teamer by the talking heads and drew praise form Marrone in that role fairly recently. Davis may be a toss up with Wilson for all I know, or he may be cut while the others make the squad. My list (especially at depth DB) is on gut feel.

Ok, that was my feeling as well.
I haven't seen Davis do anything really. Maybe twice I've seen him do anything this entire preseason and that twice might be generous.
And the staff calling him a core Special Teams player surely doesn't instill any confidence, because our Special Teams haven't looked good this preseason at all. Our ST unit has looked, far and away like our worse unit.

No comment on practice squad.
I do see Tre Herndon making the roster, but I'm fairly confident both Cody Davis and Jarrod Wilson make the roster over Meeks. Heck, if they could bring on one more DB I suspect they'd keep Myrick over Meeks too. Pencil Meeks in on the PS.
Mickens, O'shaughnessy and McCray, Niles Paul aren't playing tonight, together with the starters and the others who are sure to be on the 53 according to Mike Kaye.
That means they should be on the 53 roster and are being kept out to avoid injuries.
