Thursday Injury Report of Week 1 (2 Viewers)

[SaintFanInATLHell2019]

So we dress 46 on gameday, plus an emergency QB3, plus two PS guys right? 49 dress? Who isgonna be this weeks 4 innactives along with TQS, Grey. and Miller?

No longer possible to have emergency QB with Haener's suspension. I don't think the Saints will list Winston as the emergency QB. And for TH7 to play we would have to be QB2.

But maybe I have I it mixed up.

48 active players can dress on gameday, plus the emergency QB3. Two PS practice squad players can be elevated and increase the roster from 53 to 55. They’ll count within the 48 actives if they’re active.

TQS, Gray, Miller, Young, Tanoh, and Yiadom is who I think will be inactive. Haener’s suspension opened a roster spot so only 6 players of the current roster has to be inactive. Smith and one of the RBs will probably be the elevated, active PS players. Smith eventually signs to the 53.

Lattimore’s ready to go. Looks like we’ll be activating a RB from the PS.

As is tradition, TQS still wasting a WR spot, on the field or off.

Good to see our starting OL healthy for week one. When is the last time we had all 5 starters and our 6th man healthy for a game?

Enjoy it while it lasts lol.

Kendre Miller may turn out to be the next coming of Jesus, but it grinds my gears that the player the Saints took ostensibly passing on the hometown kid because of his injury history, has been injured since he got to New Orleans.

The plan is that TH will be QB2 and JW the emergency QB. If Carr goes down, TH can handle a game and do his normal role because JW can play if QB1 and QB2 are both injured.
Before if TH was QB2 we couldn’t play him because there was no one behind him and if he got hurt we wouldn’t have a backup qb.

But that isn't the objective here, right? The Saints are trying to exploit a loophole in the rule to make another player active on gameday right?

I get the first part with JW2 as the emergency QB and TH7 as QB2 so he can play normally. What I'm not clear on is how making JW2 the emergency QB opens up another roster spot. Let me try working out in my head and you guys can check my work.

Before this rule and designation DC4 is QB1, JW2 is QB2, and TH7 is the TE. All three can play and the Saints can have 45 more players available on gameday.

After the rule change DC4 is the QB1, TH7 is the QB2, and JW2 is the emergency QB. Now JW2 cannot play except for injury to QB1 and QB2. QB1 and QB2 can play normally. The emergency QB doesn't count against the 48. So, the Saints can have 46 more players dressed and playing.

OK I see it now. In the second situation, there is one more active spot. And it's only at the cost that JW2 cannot play except for injuries to QB1 and QB2, which in the normal course of a game would have happened anyway.

[Cougar 2]

He's a wildcard. They didn't really play him much at all in the preseason. He had 1 catch out of the backfield against the chargers. He could be a surprise as a 3rd down back/passing down back. He could bring some serious potential to the position with his skillset as a receiver out of the backfield.

Yeah, I’m a lil concerned about him as a runner. He’s still learning the position. Dunno if he can make the proper reads if needed, n dunno about his ball security goin into da hole as well. But hopefully, the former WR can bring something to the table as a receiver outta the backfield. Moreover, his speed could give him advantage vs man coverage, esp against a LB. Could we see him on a wheel route similar to what Kendre did in preseason?

We’ll see!
