Vaki's difficult camp offset by special teams value; Saylors challenging for RB4.

The source projects Vaki as the fourth running back on the 53-man roster despite a difficult start to training camp. His value on special teams is unquestioned by the coaching staff, making him a roster lock. However, the source notes that Saylors has taken a massive leap in the RB4 battle and could make an argument for being ahead of Vaki on offense, though Vaki's special teams contributions keep him on the roster.
