Sure, but I don't see a need to keep any of the current not-practicing list on the roster just to IR them at Final cutdown.
From Chris's report:
Julian Edelman
Terrence Wheatley
Shawn Springs
Laurence Maroney
Dan Connolly
Wes Welker
Dave Thomas
Chris Baker
Myron Pryor
Shawn Crable
Every one of these guys are on the rosters you and I have thrown together. It makes more sense they are just getting healed up so they can be ready to practice next week as the team installs the game plan for Buffalo, having them practice this week adds limited value compared to the installation work.
I do not subscribe to the view that IR is a red shirt season if the guys can't practice with the team.
