I'd prefer an answer to a proofread.There are two "e"s that found their way into the title.

And Rich Ohrnberger got some rotational reps at both center and guard. It’s the third straight day of mini-camp that those rotational reps seemed to go to a different guy, following days with Connolly and Ryan Wendell moving around a bit. Although today’s reps could obviously have been affected by the absence of both Light and Mankins.”
Q. Is Rich Ohrnberger ready to start? -- Roman (Natick, Mass.)
A. Roman, it doesn't look to me like Ohrnberger is ready to start. Part of it is that he is recovering from an undisclosed physical ailment, but I'm not sure if he'd be in there if 100 percent healthy either.

Thats why i asked because it seemed that there wasnt a true injury, just someone suggested pup, and everyone went with it.I don't think that Ohrnberger will make the team. I do see him as a strong contender for a roster spot.
However, you guys seems to saying that he won't even be given a chance. After play lots and lots in minicamp, posters seem to think that he will be kept out of the entire Training Camp and preseason and the first two months of the season. Being on PUP would end Ohrnberger's 2010 season.

Someone had mentioned the PUP possibility. Rather than research the situation and take time away from the exercise, we agreed to put him on PUP and move on. With the likelihood of someone ending up on IR, it's not as if it put an unlikely number of roster spots in play.
Week 1 of last season saw 4 on IR, 1 on non-football injury (Tate) and 1 on PUP. Total = 6. Odds are that there will be several players on PUP or IR status this week one as well. Makes rosters really unpredictable at this stage.

he's been referred to on here as "Ohrn-bust". I guess so, what a waste of a 4th round pick!

What did you expect a 4th round G to do last year?
Now we are calling a pick a waste if a poster gives the guy a negative nickname?
We know absolutely nothing about this guy other than he was good enough last year to make the team, and was not needed because of the veterans we have on the OL.
I don't know how that is a bust, and I don't know that bust is even an appropriate term for a 4th rounder.
If O-Berger in year 2 passes Connolly and becomes the 3rd G, after being on the roster and not playing as a rookie, he would be meeting the most reasonable expectations that anyone should have had when he was drafted.I agree that there is no reason to call Ohrnberger a bust. He was a 4th round draft choice. he was very, very unlikely to be cut. The only 4th rounder I recall being cut was Kareem Brown in an aweful draft. He didn't do well enough to beat out Connolly as the GameDay backup OG/C. He didn't need to DO ANYTHING in games to show progression. He needed to impress his coaches in practices.
So, we come into the 2010 season.
A) Connolly is back and seems to have inside track at a roster spot a a backup OG and C.
B) LeVoir is back and has the inside track as a backup OT.
B) Bussey, who didn't make the 2009 roster, is back, and has a chance as a backup LT.
C) Ohrnberger is back and is competing with the rest for a backup interior line position.
D) We drafted the 3rd best center in the draft, Larsen, who is the mix as a backup center.
E) We drafted Welch who could be the 4th OT (instead of Bussey) if Kaczur moved to LG.
LOCKS
Light, Kaczur, Koppen, Neal, Vollmer
ALMOST LOCKS (as solid inexpensive backups)
Connolly, LeVoir
PICK TWO
Mankins, Ohrnberger, Bussey, Larsen, Welch
Let the competition begin!
BOTTOM LINE
Ohrnberger could make the roster, or not. In any case, I would expect him to be given every opportunity to make the roster, and even to replace Connolly if he is able. His future is anywhere from being cut to being a Game Day backup and starter if there is an injury.
As fans, we do NOT KNOW ANYTHING about how Ohrnberger is rated by the coaches. We MAY get glimpses of how the coaches feel when writers like Reiss don't have him on their 53 man rosters.
BTW, we shouldn't be shocked if Mankins and Ohrnberger are on the 53, and the three late rounders are waived, with the hope of getting them to Practice Squad. That would simply mean that Ohrnberger has progressed as expected, or at least good enough to beat out those who were not on the 53 man squad last year.
