There were no seemingly surprise roster moves today. Erik Ezikama and Nik Needham were among the notable fan favorites let go. Backup QB Mike White was released a few days ago.
I’m disappointed in the injury reports, where Odell Beckham and Cam Smith were both PUP’ed, meaning they cannot play until Week 5. This was expected for Bradley Chubb, but not for Smith and Beckham.
I know injury information is a game of cat and mouse, but I fell for Mike McDaniel’s claims that Beckham had a nagging injury but would be ready for week 1. Obviously, he was covering something, but we’re pretty deep at WR so I’m not concerned.
We are NOT deep on the O-line, and I’ll be curious who gets cut from other teams that we bring in for tryout…
Mike White signed with the Bills. I just hate when the Bills (or the Patsies during the Belichick era) sign one of our cuts. I always feel it will come back to haunt us.
White’s a bum he looked horrible! MM will have new wrinkles by week two.
Needham and Easy were brought back to the practice squad which is good news. I like Needham but younger and cheaper players were kept who earned it. Storm Duck is a good example he played great same with Bonner.
Will be an interesting season can’t wait!
I think division rivals sign cuts more for intelligence than anything.
Overall, it feels like we will be challenged again this year with injuries. I am hoping the light pre season yields better durablity.
Also, I had expected the purpose of acquiring OBJ was to be available mid to late season when Dolphin injuries occur. Hill and Waddle are getting older, so OBJ starting on PUP does not bother me too much
Three more days till kick off! 🏈🐬
