Why can't we IR him? Sprains can take a while to heal based on the severity of it. The sad thing here is that this injury very well may have cost him his starting spot.

He wasn't gonna start anyway, and would likely have been inactive every week if we didn't suffer injuries.

Roby and Morgan contribute on special teams, Tanner does not. Tanner would simply be a newer version of AA. Unless one of the top 3 get hurt, he'll never see the field (this year).
