Any camp updates on Roy Mbaeteka?

I know he’s a developmental prospect and has a roster exception which is nice I just haven’t heard much about him and well if he develops sooner than later I’m sure they would appreciate that.
Nope

I would imagine, seeing as he has next to no football experience, that the plan all along for him has been to put him on the PS for this season, and that would apply no matter how he performed in camp.
He's one of those guys I'm interested in, too.

The preseason can be a tough watch but Mbaeteka is one to evaluate. He's got the build, interested to see his athleticism and compete.
Interested in seeing him play

Going to be one of the things to look for in the 4th quarter of these preseason games.

Gotta figure he's at best practice squad.
I've looked for him in footage

...in limited snaps seen he seems to stand up from his stance on passing downs. Looks stiff and slow in his set.

Impressive measurables but we're not the Eagles...starting tackles don't fall from the sky from league programs, for us.

I'm guessing Pederson has a lot to do with that, he's a bit "outside the box" thinker and would nurture a prospect unlike the Giants coaching staff who don't last 2 years and an org not known for its outside the box thinking.
I believe

He does not have the roster exemption and is just part of the regular roster.
Guy has never played football

He's a project. There is no way he sees the field in a meaningful game this year.

It was nice to hear from Bobby Jones on him. As he said in the interview, he's inexperienced, but when everything clicks on a play, he said you just go wow, this guy has god given natural talent. I think he'll do well with a year on the practice squad.
I loved this pickup but there is no way

that this kid sees the active roster this year unless they want to protect him towards the end of the season from being poached by another team. If he is still with the team next training camp it will be far more exciting to see how he performs.
