People practically held funerals last year when Smith-Marsette found himself on the short end of the numbers game, but Remigio demonstrated a LOT for a rookie free agent WR last year. He wasn't just some impressive returner who could punk insurance salesmen in the final preseason game.
His injury last year was a separated shoulder, not some ligament tear or an injury with a super longterm recovery. I'm certainly not gonna call it fake IR, but they clearly chose the IR stash route and not the practice squad route, and to me that should raise an eyebrow or two or at least indicate that Remigio is a bit different.
He still has an uphill climb, but there's definitely a path, and that's more than you can say for most of these nobody WRs that people fall in love with during preseason.
