1. and 2 Isaiah Irving and Kylie Fitts

We can put the last two players who won together, as they won for the same reason. Just one month ago, Fitts and Irving were  set to battle for the back up spots behind Khalil Mack and Leonard Floyd. The team signed Aaron Lynch, but still, these two likely had roster status. One of them will backup on the other side, and with the questionable depth at the position, they will likely want to keep both around. Especially now that we know that they are not going to bring in any more serious options.

Without many options behind these two, and without much to build off of from what he have seen in these two, it was expected that some competition could be brought into the room. However, like Houston-Carson, these two had to be pleasantly surprised to know that their roster status improve this weekend more than it declined.

When making a 53-man roster, it is hard to say that these two will not be included on it. That news has to have made both of them feel pretty good this weekend.
