SWATeam Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Just now, CaptnCoke11 said: Roster at 53 now. Wonder who will get released of/when they activate DaQuan Jones It's really hard to go though the roster and pick someone out. Maybe Ifedi but I'm not sure they want to mess with the OL room. And they still have Phillips coming back probably in the postseason, if they win a game. Really speaks to the roster depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be ready to return which is a bummer 30 minutes ago, Low Positive said: Just so people know, Elam’s practice window expired yesterday so the Bills either had to activate him today or put him on season-ending IR. I think that was the tiebreaker. The word was that Jones was always targeting a Week 18 return, which is when we really need him. If Elam can't hang with the WRs the Pats are throwing out, then it's time to give up on him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFBillsfan Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Hoping a healthy Elam and more time in the film room allows things to start clicking for him. Would be a huge long term bonus if it does! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great news about Elam !!! yea teams do it all the time. A player will probably come up with a hamstring or ankle injury after practice friday and will be put on IR so they can activate Jones. also I am a little concerned that Hyde could still end up on IR and miss the rest of the year which would make sense they then put elam on the roster if they need guys in the secondary and allowing them to activate jones. Hope this doesn't happen though. Edited December 27, 2023 by MikePJ76 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is my guess as well. Probably try to cut and stash on the PS if he makes it past Billy B trying to get some info before our match lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense but they need to make the playoffs first. Also you don’t want to just start him after a 3 month layoff. He needs time to shake off the rust. You don’t want him doing this in wildcard weekend. Was mostly just a joke about people around here talking about how great he was in the playoffs last year.

Teams can but if player/agent does not want to cooperate they can force issue with doctor's evaluation and if the NFL arbitrator (i.e. GoodForNothingEll flunkie) agrees then player can become a free agent or team might still be able to activate player / pay for games they should have been active. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 He's activated for the 53-man roster, right, not necessarily active for the NE game? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Summary Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 You have to hope he "gets it" starting now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO this is easier to do in NE than it in a likely “must win” situation in Week 18 45 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: I think that was the tiebreaker.

Where did you see the “word” that Jones was targeting a W18 return? Joe B and a few others thought he’d be active this Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 It's tough with that injury that we didn't know about while he was playing, it feels like we never really got a good look at him this year. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 It would be nice for Elam (and other backups) to get snaps in the 4th quarter. If the starters can get a big lead, they get some rest. Nice incentive to spank BB's Pats early! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure rosters expand in the post season so if Phillips is needy that shouldn't be a problem Or I'm sure who ever they do cut to make room would be able to slide to the practice squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck Water Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 1 hour ago, TheyCallMeAndy said: I wonder who gets released? Let’s hope for a strong finish! Unless I'm missing something, they had an open slot on the 53 man roster because of putting Jordan Phillips on IR. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might not be ready to return which is a bummer I don't think it means "no Jones" against NE necessarily. I think it means that Elam had a 21 day window to be elevated or revert to season-ending IR. Elam's window was opened Dec 6th so it expired today, so the Bills had to make a decision today. AFAIK Jones can practice with the team and be elevated to the roster as late the day before, when PS elevations take place. But his window opened only a week ago, so the Bills have 2 more weeks to make a decision on him. No need to tip their hand today.
