Which is odd because special teams was Shaver’s MO at Alabama. I mean that’s all he did. I’m pretty sure he had 1 career reception there. 

 

Shavers played ST in 2 of his 3 games for the Bills last season.  He didn't against the Colts, but that's because the starting WR were Shakir, Hollins, and Samuel and he was "next man up"

Helluva story to go from a camp body guy signed in the last 2 weeks of the Camp/Pre-Season to making the Practice Squad.

 

But he's still got a long way to go before he 'wrecks dreams and crushes hopes". He's still got to earn the right to stay there and separate himself from the pack before we see him on the field on Sunday's regularly.

You're right. Bringing Hairston and Gable back off the IR and on to the active roster is going to have negative impacts on a practice squad linebacker...

Ciarlo seems like a good locker room guy, he came off really likable and fun in the Hard Knocks episode 4. He also showed out solidly in the chances he got in pre-season. Glad to see he made the Practice Squad.

If everyone’s healthy, Hairston probably bumps Ingram (my best guess) to the PS or they cut Codrington and figure something else out at PR/KR. 
 

Grable knocks Lundt, most likely, off the 53 and if he clears, knocks off an OL on the PS. 
 

Hoecht & Ogunjobi directly impact DeWayne Carter and Javon Solomon.  Those two have six weeks to prove they belong on the active roster. 
 

I suppose Ciarlo could get bounced if the numbers game called for it, but there’s a few guys likely ahead of him on the cut list I’d imagine.. especially with carrying 5 LB’s on the active roster.

How does his commitment to the US Army work?

Just watched Hard Knocks Episode 4 last night. They spent a lot of time talking about his work ethic, that he stays in the building until late at night studying, that he played nickel in the Bears game without ever having practiced at that position. I wonder if other teams see this and if they need a bottom of the roster guy see him as a good addition and sign him off our practice squad. Although Hard Knocks has been very vanilla on anything that could be perceived as negative, this is the one negative I've seen. That being said, when those types of guys get opportunities, although I'd rather it be with the Bills, I'm happy for them.

He’ll likely see  active roster duty given the fact that a couple of our LB’s are smallish and made of glass.  I like this kids work ethic and  toughness. He may surprise a few.

Ciarlo made a nice fumble recovery and made a nice goal line stop.  He looked good at coverage, and was aggressive.  Hopefully he clears waivers, if so, Jimmy will be on practice squad most definetly 

Nice stick on kick coverage, the dude packs a wallop.

When they come and arrest him for being AWOL, we’ll find out.

My understanding is that it doesn’t start until his football career ends.  I assume that to mean any pro league (CFL, UFL), but it could be limited to NFL and the NFL PS.
