Tre is just returning from injury, Kirkwood is on IR and Carr is just out there taking up a roster spot.

Would it hurt to bring Watson in for a look and demote Carr or Humphrey back to the practice squad?

IMO we need another savvy vet (Diggs, E Sanders or player X) down the road. At some point this season or in the playoffs, a good DC will take away our main guy.

That's not the same Watson we have known it seems. Concussion in preseason and while the PED's have been explained away as "fertility drugs" those players know what is going into their bodies and have every possible available resource to not make the wrong decision.

Watson went 4/6 40 yards and a TD.. Up until Sunday no receivers were meeting anyone's production expectations.

I am cautiously optimistic for what ever it is worth.
