Thanks! I was relying on PFR's injury report which collates, and didn't have him. Me bad - I know it isn't always accurate. But he was "FP" before Thursday's game and Beane made it sound (to me) like it was an ongoing thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wasn't on the market at all, not even close. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 , oh i DO want to talk to u about that bridge in Brooklyn, I have it on sale right now. You can't be this naive, CAN YOU? Let me help u out. BB engaged in some terrific GMSPEAK today. As a public service I will translate it to English. Ready? First a disclaimer for you: The following is OPINION. BB: We're not giving up on him now.. Translation: We did our due diligence and looked into trading him, but either due to lack or interest or not agreeing on compensation we didn't get er done. Now we're stuck with him till season end. BB: Having said that you have to be ready to play.. Translation: This is not a physical issue with him, it's mental and/ or attitudinal. He simply is not doing what he needs to as a professional for our standards. BB: BTW he has a nagging ankle injury( despite being a healthy scratch less than one week ago, and when asked after the game McDermott said NOTHING about an injury , just that 36 yr old Norman gives us a better chance to win right now), so we may place him on IR to get well... Translation: We are going to get this guy out of McDermott and the rest of the staffs hair, they have had it. BB : whether it's the minimum 4 weeks, 5, whatever it takes.. Translation: We aren't activating this guy the rest of the season unless it's an absolute emergency. There you go. You're welcome. Now about that bridge.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But loss you Defensive QB in Malino, Your best CB in Tre, and the Jones, Anchor of the D, all at the same time. It is more than just losing one! Guess what none of their backups can replace the talent lost. Would be the same for 95% of the teams out there. I think losing Jones was the biggest hit to the D. And wish we traded for a DT as that is the more important piece to me. But I'm sure Beane tried to. Just couldn't find the deal. Hopefully we can bring in a FA that helps the rotation some.

strive_for_five_guy Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 On Elam’s ankle, from 10/21: https://bangedupbills.com/2023/10/21/afc-east-injury-preview-week-7-2/?amp=1#Buffalo-Bills CB Kaiir Elam (Ankle) Wednesday revealed that Elam aggravated an ankle injury from training camp that left him limited on Wednesday before practicing in full on Thursday and Friday. Looking back at my articles from August, there wasn’t any mention of injuries during in-game broadcasts or from the media that I can find. Elam had an ankle/foot injury last year that he injured against the Steelers in Week 5 before aggravating the injury several weeks later, jamming his ankle. It’s unknown if this is the same issue or a different complaint, but any injury that hinders Elam’s performance doesn’t help his development. He does not have a designation and will play on Sunday.

Now he's on the verge of being shut down for the year? I'd like to know what our practices ask of these players if they can participate fully all week with no issues, yet be heading to IR regardless. 🤷♂️ Beane never said shut down for the year. If you actually listen to his PC, he clarified Elam could return in 4 weeks, 5 weeks, etc. Whenever he's ready/ healthy. That's if he goes on IR, Beane likely doesn't mention this though unless it's their plan. Elam did miss practice today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to know what our practices ask of these players if they can participate fully all week with no issues, yet be heading to IR regardless. 🤷♂️ With all respect, That's Football. To my understanding, by midseason the training room is full of players who may or may not be listed on the injury report (depending upon whether they are able to complete 100% of all aspects of practice), but who have low-level injuries that are being treated and would be improved by a couple weeks of rest. Beane is going to have to IR or cut someone to add a DT to the roster. Just like injured rookies who would probably play through if they'd earned a starting slot get IR'd, a guy who is being treated and is on the lower edge of the depth chart is a candidate. Beane didn't say "shut down for the year", he said "shut down" meaning go on IR. Could be designated to return any time after 4 games.

Beck Water Posted November 1, 2023 Share Posted November 1, 2023 (edited) 1 hour ago, Roundybout said: Settle is a disappointment, I remember Washington fans were very upset that he left. Phillips is just washed Agree on Settle. Also Poona Ford. I thought Phillips had been playing better, more disciplined football this season and doing well. Not playing lights-out like Ed Oliver, but less stat-chasing and more gap integrity. The reason Phillips wasn't a good run defender during his first stint here was that he was chasing stats and would penetrate and try for a sack at the expense of minding his gap against the run and doing his part to keep the LB's clean. He seemed to have "straightened up" this year (did it some last year - was one memorable game where Edmunds could be seen/heard chewing him out) What do you see that says he is washed?

I can see the logic, even if the injury isn't significant, since they're currently wasting a roster spot on a guy they have no intention of playing. I assume if Elam was on the practice squad it wouldn't be a consideration, but since they added Douglas it stands to reason they want to open up a spot for another possible addition, like a 1Tech that's currently on another team's practice squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
