Things are starting to get crowded, and (for the roster prognosticators) IR isn't currently an option for Mr. Dennard.
Also, Chung is not at practice today.

Superstitiously, I'm glad IR isn't an option for Dennard. Every time we IR a rookie CB, he usually ends up getting cut within three years because he never recovers.
Re: Vollmer, Fells, Dennard, Demps all practicing today
I just read a post by Kontra saying Larsen is back, as well. I'll give him the hat tip and edit the thread title.

As much as we'd like to stash him potentially, I'm not sure IR is the right path for a player like Dennard, since he could no longer practice with the team all year. Using a phantom injury so you can "red-shirt" him on IR would work with a player like Demps, who might need a year to bulk up from his olympic weight (which can be done outside of team practices). If you think Dennard can be a good player, you need him practicing with other good players.

Added, and hat tip to you

That has pretty much been the case regardless of position. I think the thing people fail to realize is that a Red Shirt in college still practices with the team so he has a chance to develope an "IR redshirt in the pros" means no practice and likely stunts growth much more then any of us realize.

Gotta man up and hope he passes waivers to the PS. If the other 31 don't in injury riddled CB desperation sign him to their 53, we're good.
