We'd be wise to bring in some O-line insurance instead of activating a RB that we don't need.

I thought the hurry was there was a time limit to bring hiom back from PUP. I could be wrong only asking!

Here's the skinny...

6 weeks on PUP-can't practice with team.

Then you have 3 weeks to evaluate him and decide whether or not to let him start practicing with the team.

After he starts his 1st practice, you have 3 more weeks before you have to activate him to the 53 man squad, or IR him for the rest of the season

Quiz tomorrow.

My guess is Mickey has a list of available players they like at every position. His list likely includes some young players we've never heard of and some veterans we've totally forgot about.

Tennant may be forced to grow up quicker than originally planned.

I hope not......there is a reason he's still on the bench.

Give Ivory time to heal up, Payton already has enough trouble getting 3 backs the ball, you want to add another. Bring him back slowly and then come playoff time .... UNLEASH THE BEAST

I'm undecided. However, the way Ivory ran last year, there shouldn't be any talk of this "we already have 3 backs" stuff. Ivory would run the ball, Sproles would catch the ball, and Ingram and PT would learn how to crush people.

Three GREAT reasons to activate Ivory:

(1) Carolina Panthers
(2) Atlanta Falcons
(3) Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Alaska

This has made national news. Bring back Ivory to counter punch it in the face. New starting center and a healthy Chris Ivory. I can't think of a better way to jump start the O line.
