There is a reason they are called backups.

Except right now the team only has one full-time RB healthy, and he is an UDFA. I'm not a Chicken Little, but Morris & Maroney hadn't proved durable last year, so BB carried a 5th RB in Jordan.
Now he is proven right as Maroney is on IR and now Morris is missing time, only Jordan has not proved durable. So why would he not repeat his actions from earlier in the year and bring in another RB to hedge against Morris/Jordan not being healthy & dependable the rest of the way?
This is not being a Chicken Little: it's smart resource management.
