If I had to guess, Phillips may be heading to IR for a few weeks. Yes. I believe if you IR a player before the season starts then they are done for the year. Expand Correct, and if they are on IR after season starts then only have to be there 3 weeks.

Expand Every player is only one play away from an injury, especially a recently-injured KR/PR. Do you see Beane leaving us with only one choice there? I don't. Stevenson supposedly left the game with a "head injury" (but not a concussion protocol). Doesn't sound like something that takes 2 weeks until the regular season then 3 weeks on IR then another week 'til the game to heal. In fact if they want him to return punts, per Andre Roberts he's gotta have a screw loose 😝

BigAl2526 Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 (edited) Do we know what Sweeny's injury is, and the timetable for recovery? I think the notion of cutting Hollister in hopes of signing him after putting Sweeney on a post 53 IR is kind of risky. Maybe Buffalo is hoping Sweeney is healthy for the Pittsburgh game.

Expand Except Stevenson got a head injury in the game against GB - Sal could not confirm or tell what that meant or a time table - so maybe he could be a candidate still. Hogdkins was moving around, but could still be IR’d to be available later for a stretch if there are other injuries. Johnson seems likely to me as a potential IR candidate. I expect McKenzie to be back. You have Sweeney also as a possibility. They could also use it on someone like Doyle to give him more time as he was injured with a knee.

Expand We don't, but he hasn't practiced a snap for the last 3 weeks. Speculation is he may have had a Jones fracture that was surgically repaired last season, and that it may have re-injured, which could be ?10 weeks? - 3 weeks of training camp, 2 weeks from now until regular season, maybe first 5 weeks? That's a long time, depends on how much they really like him I guess.
Lieutenant Aldo Raine Posted August 31, 2021 Posted August 31, 2021 To avoid the risk of losing a cut player in the cut/resign scheme; is there a $$$ incentive (bonus) given to the player in the handshake agreement to resign? Surely, a clean cut of Hollister would have to have been ran by Allen (both personally and professionally) and I don' see him going for that. 1

Expand Watch Beane flip Carolina's 6th for Njoku - he makes $6 million this year and is a FA next year. Much cheaper than what they would have to give up for Ertz and his $12.7 million this season.
