Why IR? PUP would allow him to come back after six weeks which would give him plenty of time to recover and would get him in the lineup sooner.

Guido,

You forgot that he practiced. Even though it was one day, he was already off of PUP. And once you come off PUP you cannot go back on it.

Only options at this point to keep him on the team was IR or a roster spot. Couldn't afford the roster spot with the young guns pushing and if put on IR would not be back this year.

Lewis now has the ability to work his way back to health and then pick the team that he thinks he can contribute to. BTW there's nothing that says that 10 weeks from now that is not in fact the Saints. It doesn't look like he burned a bridge.

SFIAH

I wasn't aware that he made it to practice.

And, yes, he could even have a wink, wink deal with the Saints to return while not costing a roster spot while rehabbing.

Guess he was too hurt.
When he got hurt our secondary got weaker than it's already poor performing self.

Im guessing the idea is to just go Williams and Breaux as 1-2 with Swann/Finnegan in the slot and not look at the svrubs left on the street or is a vet getting a call

lee909 · 08-19-2016, 08:58 PM

Honestly i cant remember exactly how it works. I thought he'd have to be on IR at the start of the season then come back of IR or am i wrong?

Was is that you can't go on PUP if you've participated in the preseason practices?!

You are correct.

Any player who practices with a team during training camp is not eligible to be placed on the PUP list, and the team has to either cut him or put the player on injured reserve.

RockyMountainSaint · 08-19-2016, 09:38 PM

I was hoping against reality that he would contribute at some point this year.
We all saw the writing on the wall via rumors and sources, but it sounds like, perhaps there was one more "malcontent" that needed to go when you add KL's comments to Triplette about wanting Ryan over Allen.
Dunno.
I have a feeling that the spin machine on both sides will be heard from soon.
