OT, but on the 'return to practice' side of things, Bosa signed with the Chargers today.
And weaken two positions at the same time.
I think Cooper makes the team. I think if they wanted rid, they could have done it in the last few weeks. I just can't see them bringing him back to training for a few days, and then cutting him.
The fact is, Scar will likely want a chance to work with someone with such a high upside.
MAYBE if Cooper had a full camp behind him, that would be true. But Bill isn't letting a new guy start who has, at best, 2 weeks of practice behind him, and very little contactThink you have it backwards at RG, Ken. I think Mason backs up Cooper.

Waddle has started 24 NFL gamesIf not both.
We know what Fleming is which isn't much and Waddle has 1 quarter of just-OK play vs NYJ to go on although hes been decent in preseason.
I gotta think they'll be upgrading this position- especially if Vollmer is going on IR or PUP.
Week 1 is less than 2 weeks away and both Cooper and Mason just returned to the practice after missing almost all TC and just Mason playing one (1st) preseason game vs Saints.
Like it says in another thread of the same topic - they (of course) left with rehab guys for conditioning training, no drills. Its a very good sign but still unclear when they will be ready to fully practice.
So at the moment week 1 OL still stands at - Solder-Thuney-Andrews-Kline-Cannon
But this certainly does bode well for them to be both on 53 instead of one going to IR (since none could go on PUP) and that they will both be available sooner rather than later.
This probably means Karras will have to be cut and I can only hope no one takes him from waivers - although OL cuts are signed elswhere quickly even these days. Id really like him on our PS.
Not with NE.Waddle has started 24 NFL games
Has Vollmer officially been put on PUP?With Vollmer and Jackson on PUP, they won't cut Karras.
Andrews
Karras, Kline, Cooper, Thuney, Mason
Solder, Cannon, Waddle
That's only 9 - they'll want 9.
Unless they like Barker, who did play okay the other night...or unless they'd prefer Fleming (who would probably get through to PS).

The level of talent he displayed in those games may be up for debate but they are NFL football and count.Not with NE.
We have no idea if he's good here or not. He's a question mark.
Count for what?The level of talent he displayed in those games may be up for debate but they are NFL football and count.
He is a veteran player not a guy "we have one quarter to go on".Count for what?
I agree that he's a legit NFLer but that does not mean they will be a success here. You know that.
