As for Carr, he's played virtually every game his whole career so far. Odds say he's likely to play them all again.

They have to make it to the practice squad though.

I believe they are protected in the move to the practice squad, as well. In other words, they don't go through waivers.

Hmmm......I thought when you cut a player on cut down day they had to go through waivers. Which, is why it's such a difficult decision on who will and who won't clear waivers before we can add them to the practice squad. Thanks for clarifying.

Okay, looking into it further and they may not be protected on the initial move, but it seems teams are intent on just getting their own on the initial moves. In other words, once waivers start you can claim your own player first and then you move to the bottom of the waiver order. If you claim players waived by another team early you are likely to lose your top player or two or three you want to retain. Apparently the first few claims by most every team are their own released players.

But, you may be right in Rattler being wanted. In that case we may keep three QB's on the 53. Then again, Haener could be waived and picked up first and moved to the practice squad. But I still expect Haener to start out as the primary backup.
