CIN just cut WR Jordan Shipley.
CIN just cut WR Jordan Shipley.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

He had 52 receptions for 600 yards and 3 Tds his rookie season.
Hes still a little banged up, but I think he's perfect for chan's offense.
We could stash him on IR and give him till week 6 to heel up.

Is the week 6 IR deal on now ?
Rich are u a UT homer now?
He has already been practicing, so he isn't PUP eligible (to return after week 6). He isn't injured, so he can't go on IR.
Decent possession receiver and punt returner, but he is slow to recover after blowing out his knee early last year (ACL/MCL). It may be a case where the knee keeps him from coming back, but he may just need more time to recover.
I'm a little surprised Cincinnati gave up on him so quickly. It is always the 2nd season after that kind of injury when a WR comes back fully. I guess they didn't feel he was good enough to wait.
He got a very cheap knee shot in the open field by a DEN player, game 2 last year. Did his best to rehab, was brought along slowly in camp.Originally Posted by GingerP
He can't plant the leg and get a burst off of the LOS. Tough cut for CIN - but the fact that they cut him instead of putting him on IR for the season is telling.
