Right. I guess I meant the 6 week IR.
I think we can only designate one guy, though, and Stills and Lorig are our candidates.

Hopefully, Kenny Stills' injury is not bad enough for that designation. Lorig' might be. He would be the candidate for IR designated to return. Austin Johnson can do the job in the meantime, and Josh Hill can spell him playing H-back.

It's Johnson vs Jones tomorrow night. One of several roster spot battles

Maybe but I don't think so. Greg Jones has shown zero in camp, and Johnson looks good running/receiving and special teams.

Jones is a guy that will likely be available all season if needed, Johnson is an ascending player that not only is ahead of Jones so far, but contributes on special teams

I don't think there's much of a battle there at all.
