fwiw - but media availability could be a sign he's getting on the field more
one starting RB back . also good to see Berrios back in the mix

Kinda odd about Berrios - do we know if it was injury that kept him out of the Philly game?
Sad, but at this point Bill should just IR/Waive Langi; he'll be hors de combat for at least another month.
unclear
not easy to bring a guy back via inj. settlement release . other teams have big advantage (settlement period + 3 weeks) and agents are anxious their guys sign somewhere asap.
Maybe goes to IR after cuts so that he's eligible to return?
Why waste the IR Return on a practice squad guy?
He probably ends up on IR anyway but there's no pointing in activating him.
Yeah, something I don't see people mention much, possibly because I might be one of the only people here who thinks this, but Langi isn't even worth a roster spot. He earned it last year, looked very mediocre in limited time, and then had the unfortunate accident. I wish the best for him, but we've upgraded his position quite a bit since last season. I hope we can find a way to keep paying him at least but he probably hasn't earned a spot on this year's 53.

I’m guessing Michel will go on IR (the kind you can come back from after week 8).A real bummer about Michel. He has pro bowl talent

WE don't know yet that he's just a Psquad guy. The coaches may.
If they put him on IR before cuts (waive/injured), that means his season is over unless he reaches a settlement and is released. That may indicate that the Pats see little future for him, at least here.
OTOH, if they juggle the roster so that he makes the 53, and then is sent to IR, that only means that he's eligible to be used as one of their two "IR-return" guys. It doesn't mean that they've "wasted" anything. If there are two others who are sent to IR after making the 53-man, the Pats could use their IR-return options on them.
In any case, if the Pats wait until after cuts to send Langi to IR, that would seem to indicate that they're far from done with his potential.
We won't know until one thing or the other happens.

I actually think it makes sense. No need for him to play until he's 100%. Looking back at his career, I believe the only time he's injured a knee in college, was in the SEC Championship game vs Auburn. On 12/2/17, he hurt his knee. The next game vs Oklahoma was on 1/1/18, and we all know what happened in that game (15 total touches 222 total yards, 4 tds). Hopefully they are just being careful and he'll be ready to rip teams apart in the regular season.Well, until he actually starts practicing again, and appears in a pre-season game, that remains a possibility.
