What isn't this guy on IR?
I am sure he will be placed on IR soon, I would also not be surprised if Miller lands there too.

Logically because they expect him to be back sooner than week five. Also, don't forget there is a limit to how many players you can recall from IR. You don't want to use those on a WR5 when you may need them for a starter later.

See reply above. They are not going to use IR unless it is absolutely necessary because of the limited number of recalls available. They brought this up last year concerning a couple of players that weren't placed on IR.

Maybe. I'm not a doctor but this guy may have a sports hernia :rolleyes:.

Promote someone (special teamer/LB) who can actually help you on next Sun.

Jaylon Smith comes to mind. Titans are a old school Power I running type team. We need to clog up as many run lanes as possible. Henry only needs a crease and he's off.

I was thinking Jaylon for that same reason.

Would you elevate Jaylon Smith vs Titans ?

IMO is a solid #3 option and plays well against the run.

If they deem him ready, yes. 4-2-5 will definitely continue to show our deficiencies in stopping the run game. We need to find a good balance here. It's unfortunate injuries zapped Jaylon's athleticism but his football IQ alone should be able to help us. But who knows, maybe the light turns on for Baun like it did for Elliss last season.

They’re a tough, gritty team. A physical game would be in their favor. We have to jump out on them quick and make them abandon the run game. Make them show us Tannehill can win the game for them. Lattimore should be able to keep Hopkins in check. Henry…thats a different story.

I thought Jaylon Smith was gonna make the 53. Maybe they put the cut slip in the wrong “Smith’s” locker.
