Actually Kaczur does as well...and there are others I believe who still could be PUPed...(Those that have not practiced..Mills, Ventrone, ZSmith, Charles...) They also added Shelton to IR.

Good catch.

Our boy Mike Reiss only beat the competition by half an hour today. And the Herald tried to throw cold water on the announcement saying Rodney was wearing a "heavy" brace (guess Breer ran out onto the field and asked Rodney for a closer look...) and hinted it could just be a walk through and not indicative of their coming off PUP.

Reiss rules the blogs. Hope they get him some assistants who can cover human interest and fluff pieces on the beat so he can maintain his excellence in cyber space.

Nothing better could have happened today. Unbelievable. Most of these guys are clearly though to be ready for the season because they can't be PUPed anymore. Active roster or IR now.

There are now two open roster spots with Shelton and Mitchell to the I.R.

Hell, maybe Posey could be coming our way. You'd think Beioli will bring in another veteran receiver or just somebody who can "replace" Shelton.

Aside from the three big names who I love to see back, Randall Gay's return pleases me A LOT. Depth is back in our CB position. What does this mean? Keep Geno at CB or bring him back to FS?

Am I the only one suspicious about Seymour and Sullivan coming off the pup on the same day? We all speculated being former teamates that big Sey would be there to help and motivate Sully, perhaps he has been on the pup not for tightness in his quad but a tightess in big boy's?

Just a thought.

I half jokingly speculated as much when Sully failed his conditioning run. I found it very odd that Sey was on PUP with Sully with NO reported injuries. I thought in the back of my mind that Sey may have been told to mentor Sully into shape so that he could pass the conditioning run. Sully passes the run, and off of PUP they both come. You be the judge!

Then again, I'm all into Area 51/Nevada Test Site conspiracy theories, so...

The thought did cross my mind.

Great. Shelton on IR? There goes the WR depth.

I heard that Stone was banged up too. Where did that panic button go?

Oh no!!! Who is Mortensen going to throw too.

Bring back the panic button now!!!!!! :bricks:

It's ok. Zuriel Smith is stepping up.

Actually, Stone has shown that he's DURABLE. He did get banged up in one practice, but he was back out there the next day. Curran was on EEI today, and according to him, Stone may have a legitimate shot of making the team.

My girl would be happy if he did make the team. She says he looks like the dude off of CSI. I guess that means he's hot.
