Danna must miss 3 weeks at least now with his hammy strain. Depth is there to withstand it currently.

Continue to roll with 4 RBs and 4 TEs.

Beech is gonna play the 3 week IR shuffle all season, as most teams should. No reason not to play the numbers.

When will Saunders be able to return? Next week or week 7?

I think he could have returned this week... wasn't he put on ir after week 1? That would mean he's missed his 3 games required by ir.

Whenever he’s healthy at this point.

We already have a solid-to-very-good 4 DT rotation. Saunders is living on IR for as long as that's the case.

Soon as we lose one to injury, he'll be back in the fold.

This is actually really good timing, IMO.

Danna's been a huge revelation so far this season and I think that missing a few weeks will help to "slow down the game" for him once when he returns in 3+ weeks.

Yay Breeland! I hope he's not too rusty.

It was reported earlier in the week that we waived Kemp for Breeland. Did I miss something or was that report in error?

Keep was released but breeland was not immediately activated. We had an empty spot for a day then we elevated DeAndre Washington from the practice squad maxing the roster back out. I think there was some thought about leaving breeland off the active roster for this week to get him back up to game speed. But with danna being injured it freed a spot.

Kemp —> Washington
Danna —> Breeland

We just put Danna on IR. So we did lose one for 3 weeks. That's why I was asking. I would have expected Saunders back, assuming that he's healthy.

Danna is a DE, not a DT.

[RunKC]

Someone clarify this for me...can we bring back as many as we want from IR this year or only 3?

As many as you want I believe. Definitely more than 3 though.

Don't they move most of the DL back and forth depending on the formation?

[Titty Meat]

Dana and Snead have been our best rookies sucks to see them get injured. I guess if theres a silver lining this should help prevent them from hitting that wall during the season some rookies seem to hit.

They move a DE inside on obvious pass downs (so 3 DE and 1 DT on the line), wouldn't really call the DL interchangeable though.
