They could have used his roster spot for basically anyone.I guess what they could be thinking is that...do they really need him this week against the 49ers? Their D isn't as good, Fred Johnson should be able to handle the duties again. Maybe they're trying to save him until we really need him...i.e., playing a good defense with good edge rushers. Either that or they really misjudged how long it would take him to recover. Lisfranc injuries are usually season-enders so I guess they diagnosed him as being a more mild type of sprain. Still a tough injury to recover from without the benefit of time...a lot of it.There is a limit to how many players you can bring back from IR during a season. While players are on IR, they can't practice with the team either. I'm sure both of those were factors in the decision.

We shall see.TBH I'd be surprised if he is good to go ... at least to go out and give 100% considering the injury and the fact that he needs to anchor against 250-300 lb rushers.
Wednesday at 07:07 PM1 day Sit him for one more week. I'd rather have Nakobe back for this game than Lane.
Wednesday at 07:26 PM1 day I know Lane wants to play. I believe he will. Fred is a solid back up. I am more concerned with Cam and Landon. They have had rough years. I don't know how much 2 weeks of rest will solve their issues. You have to hope the Eagles make the proper call. Id rather Toth be in if Cam is going to be more of a liability than an asset.
