This times 10.

Sheldon ruptured his Achilles. A man of his size does not to be rushed back under any circumstances.

Doctors/trainers and medical staff gotta be smart here.

Okay, this definitely changes roster projects...

So, he'll take up a spot on the 53 for the opener, which is kind of intriguing.
Anyone know if we needed to make this move in the preseason?

Rankins doesn't count against the 53-man roster until activated, playing...

Because he's coming off the PUP list before the start of the season, he can come back at any time until Week 7, then he has to be activated by then...

Payton and Rankins both said in Presser that Week 1 is unrealistic, may be a few weeks into the season...

Also, Onyemata won't count against our initial 53 because of his mail order business...

So, we're initially gonna have two extra players on the active roster Week 1, with Onyemata (SUS) and Rankins (PUP) not counting against the 53-man roster...

Yeah.. it's a move to get him back on the field sooner than later, procedurally for the NFL. He might be ahead of schedule, but still probably not quite ready to start game 1.

Call me crazy if you want, but I truly believe that if Sheldon hadn't gone down in the Eagles game, the Rams game would have been a completely different animal, totally different ball game, and the whole BS with the no-call and the stupid overtime would never have happened. Sheldon was an intangible part of that defense, that was clearly capable of taking it all the way to the Super Bowl Mothership before he went down so tragically.

The practice squad just got bigger?
