Yep. Can't ever tell injury severity with this gang, and really, we still have no idea. I still think Porter to IR last year was a strange move.

I get the Porter to IR last year. That's a severe injury. Urlacher had basically the same thing and he went to IR.

There was nothing strange about it. His arm was in a cast, and I believe it had pins/rods in it to stabilize the bones...he had to have surgery to repair it. So there was no chance at all that he would be able to play again last season.

At first, I read this as Roman Harper and said "Noooooooooooo!" Then I read it again and calmed down.

For a split-second...I reacted that way too! Whew...

What ever happened to that AA guy?

I doubt it because they would have put Daniel on the Practice Squad but they resigned Renardo Foster to the PS yesterday.

What ever happened to that AA guy?

He plays QB for the Titans.

Sounds like a classic roster-stash. This is especially neccessary since we'll be carrying two kickers on the roster.

we arent because we are winning....if we were 0-4 staring at a 3-13 season, then it would be.

I remember one of our rookies (Arnoux I think) specifically saying "I don't want to go on IR." I know, winning cures all etc... but most guys go home when they get put on IR. They do not even stay with the team, so I don't know how vested they feel in the team's success, especially rookies.

So does this mean that Meachem goes back to returning Punts?

My guess it Reggie Bush remains the guy with Lance Moore backing him up.

That makes sense as long as Reggie doesn't fumble. In a game like this we are going to need Reggie to come up BIG in the return game.

Has Meachem ever been a punt returner?

At the beginning of the season he was doing either PR or KR, but was removed for running "tenatively and for a loss of yards".

He did KR for a while. I guess he could have done PR too. He's not really what you think of with a prototypical PR
