I fully expected them to start him on IR. Makes sense really to help them juggle the roster around and give themselves extra space for other guys short term.
Unfortunately he can't practice on the field with the guys until he's designated to return (as I understand it) so it'll be a long while before we see him play in a game. But looking at the glass half full, maybe that's not so bad. If he can be pushing for a starting job later in the season and there isn't a tonne of film on him he might hit his stride come playoff time.
I'm still dreaming of him picking off Mahomes as the Chiefs drive for the winning score at the end of a playoff game.
