SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Smoke and mirrors. If Morse gets s still “suffering” he’d be in some sort of IR after 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I'm at the point where I'm just going to assume that Feliciano is going to start at center for most of the season. If Morse is healthy, it's a great bonus. At this point, after 3 weeks in concussion protocol, I'm not counting on him. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might've been showing some minor symptoms and they decided to shut him down until game 1. I have zero doubt he starts against the Jets. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmotionallyUnstable Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 My biggest injury concern is for Cam Lewis. Dude came out undrafted out of a local college to outperform expectations to the point where he was earning reps that indicate he was fighting towards a roster spot when no one else, including myself, ever gave him a second thought. I hope he gets another chance, if not with the Bills, somewhere else. 2 minutes ago, OldTimeAFLGuy said: ...much better comfort level with Feliciano starting until Morse is ready.......Bodine is an enigma...is he that bad or was his lousy 2018 surroundings partially at fault?.....2019 surroundings (yup, better on paper so far) look far better and he could show in a better surrounding environment....I just don't know...do you?.. Feliciano, regardless of Morse’s injury, might see the field. In a situation where Ford plays tackle (idt it will happen, but possibly with injury) Feliciano should slide into RG. I’ve like him more than Long at this point 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he does, I suspect that Feliciano is still the week 1 starter. After multiple weeks of training camp and preseason, and still not being ready I am sure that McD would want to give multiple weeks to make sure that he is in sync with the other members of the line and fully at game speed Though for what it's worth, if Morse is in a non-contact uniform, that means that he is in stage 4 of the protocol, where stage 5 is full release for contact..

We the North think this is not happening. You don’t dole out a contract to make a player the highest at his position and not play him when he is healthy.

I don't think there is any coaching input into concussion protocol. It is a medical issue only. If he has symptoms, even minor ones, he's not going to be cleared. If he is cleared, the Bills don't have to play him, but they can't say he's still in the protocol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Id imagine they'd like to get Morse to practice and take on some contact with the 1st stringers before just starting him week 1. The guys been in concussion protocol since the 1st padded practice, I doubt they'd just plug and play him considering his history. I think they'd need to seem him take on some contact once free from concussion protocol and be symptom free. So what do you think? They are going to risk putting him in a meaningless preseason game?

I thought in that situation, they don't have to be part of the original 53 man roster. That is correct. A player designated as PUP must be promoted to the active roster by week 6 of the regular season or placed on IR, and a player on PUP does not count against the 53.

You have to have come into camp broken. If you get broken during camp that's an IR situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
