The question will be does Street dress (I'm assuming Ojomo won't). So, we can have 48 active players not counting McKee. Assuming we elevate Siposs and Covey for week 1, we need to deactivate 6 of the 52 (excluding McKee) on the active roster. Here's my best guess: OL: Fred Johnson - Driscoll fills in at RT if Lane gets hurt, Steen at LT for Mailata. Need to dress 8 OL to have 48 active, so only deactivate 1 TE: Albert O - New guy needs to get up to speed DT: Ojomo -- too raw to play on gameday CB: Ringo and Ricks -- Jobe is the outside backup, Goodrich dresses as the backup slot since Maddox is injury prone That's 5 -- need one more. It's Street or Scott, and I'm guessing they dress Scott. Injuries will impact this after week 1. STs will impact the Actives list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have tried like hell to explain to him but he doesn't care. I know he'll love it if he watches it. I've never seen Bull Durham and need to sit down to watch one of these days.

pgcd3 Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 One of the reasons I think the Eagles will be in on Mann is that the Steelers kept him for that extra day. Weidl thought he might be able to pry a pick for a reason imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeanMeanGM Posted August 31, 2023 Share Posted August 31, 2023 6 minutes ago, BigEFly said: If a player goes on IR before the 53, he is unavailable to the original team for the year, even if cut from IR. But can sign with other teams. Is the same true under scenario 2 or can the original team injury settle and bring him back after the injury period. Based on how you explained it in the first response, sounds like under both 1 and 2, the player is unavailable to the original team all season. Did I understand this correctly? No. Under scenario #2 the original team can come to a settlement which gets them off IR. After the settlement expires they can sign with any team including the original team. Greg Ward was scenario #2 last year. He was released but reverted to IR before the final 53 because he had the injury designation. Transaction went through 8/30/22. He went unclaimed so he reverted to IR. And then came to an injury settlement 9/9/2022 Then on 10/24/2022 he was signed back to the practice squad Quote The Eagles have signed wide receiver Greg Ward to the practice squad. After suffering a toe injury, he was waived from the team's Injured Reserve days before the 2022 season opener with an injury settlement. Now, healthy, he will return to the organization as a practice player. https://www.philadelphiaeagles.com/news/eagles-sign-greg-ward-to-the-practice-squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Mann will explore market first to see if he gets on a 53 somewhere pretty quick. Mutual understanding that if he punts well the 1st 3 weeks the job is his for the year. Siposs holding the seat warm right now. Ultimately, having roster flexibility in the 1st 3 weeks is vital here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Sermon could get the same treatment and might be available just like Cleveland later this year. Smart move by Howie. Risk because it comes with release but because it is player friendly, has that bit of a hook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being the same age as the actor who played Henry (Thomas Ian Nicholas) made it a completely relatable movie for guys my age. Every 12 year old kid was hoping he could somehow get hurt like that.
