I think Dareus has the spot - not sure who will fill it for one week

I think Dareus has the spot - not sure who will fill it for one weekProbably true but we could add someone to the roster and waive a player likely to be available to go to our PS like O'Leary or Tarpley

I didn't know Jaylen Watkins was Sammy Watkins older brother.

Most interesting name missing: Matt Simms. If he isn't on the practice squad it means either another PS QB who was in someone else's camp or a veteran 3rd stringer signed after week 1 when he can be cut without guaranteeing his salary for the whole year.

From https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/football-insider/wp/2015/09/06/a-refresher-on-how-nfl-practice-squads-work/ , here are the PS eligibility rules:


Rookies or first-year players are eligible for the practice squad. Any player that has been on an active roster for fewer than six games, or on the 46-man game day roster for fewer than nine games are eligible as well. Each team is allowed to sign two practice squad players that have one accrued NFL season, but fewer than two.. In terms of vets, I still wouldn't be shocked if we bring back Cassel at a reduced rate and cut one of the five TEs we have.

The clown who wrote that article used an outdated method. As of now you can have 2 practice squad players with 2 full NFL seasons. Simms is eligible. http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2015/9/6/9268113/nfl-practice-squad-salary-rules-eligibility-roster-cuts-waivers-wire-deadline-2015

Eligibility

The NFL and NFLPA agreed to some practice squads eligibility changes last year.

First, a player must have a minimum of six games – up from the current three games – on a Practice Squad in order for that season to count as one of the player’s three permissible seasons of Practice Squad service.

Second, each club will be permitted to sign a maximum of two Practice Squad players who have earned no more than two accrued seasons of free agency credit. Absent this exception, a player who has earned one or more accrued seasons would not be eligible for a Practice Squad unless the player spent fewer than nine games on a club’s 46-player active list in each of his accrued seasons.

All other practice squad rules under Article 33 of the 2011 Collective Bargaining Agreement will remain in effect during the 2014 and 2015 seasons.

(Article 33: The Practice Squad shall consist of the following players, provided that they have not served more than two previous seasons on a Practice Squad: (i) players who do not have an Accrued Season of NFL experience; and (ii) free agent players who were on the Active List for fewer than nine regular season games during their only Accrued Season(s). An otherwise eligible player may be a Practice Squad player for a third season only if the Club by which he is employed that season has at least 53 players on its Active/Inactive List during the entire period of his employment.)

I'm glad Lewis & Richardson are back, think they both have some potential here.

[Night Train]

Reddick was great vs. Detroit. He's probably the best of the bunch

Looks like they're deciding between several QB's for the last spot, according to local reports. No names mentioned.

2 1sts a 3rd, 2 two 5ths and Eric Wood for Michael Vick in another Whaley opium dream.
