I thought he was close to return... Hope for his speedy recovery and will see him next season.

I hope we have enough depth for our OL.

Good thing the OL has been playing great without him.

Get well soon Nick.

Yeah but we're hurting on the depth side.

 

[Gwedd]

Indeed. Get well soon!

Re: Reiss: Kaczur to IR

too bad.

My experience has been it is very tricky to predict how a back injury is going to recover/behave
Might be best to shut it down and let things heal.


In theory they get Mankins back in week 11.

Bummer, back injuries suck.

Be nice if Mankins could back in the fold. Oh well!

This is the roster spot for Branch who just passed his physical and will practice today. Not sure if they ever held out much hope considering there were lots of other moves they could have made it they still thought Kaczur's return was remotely possible...

Oh,,,FUUDDDGGGEEEE!!!

First bad team news in well over a week.

All reports are that Mankins will return for week 10. We just need Connelly to hold up for 5 more weeks. We're a little thin over the next 5 weeks, but Kaczur wouldn't have helped in that time anyway.

I though the news last week was he was close to returning. What happened to that?

They suck big time, and they come back later in life to remind you that they are still around.

Mankins gets to play for minimum wage and risk injury without a contract.

Man, that's a great agent, what a strategy!

Why is this bout math, though? Didn't trading away Moss open up a spot for Branch?

We already filled that spot by re-signing Ojinnaka.

Exactly what I was thinking
