Too Much TE?

My guess right now we will know more if All participates in training camp and preseason. If he is shelved, tough for a rookie TE to play if no camp and no practice learning the offense and getting timing with Joe B.

I am not a roster rules guru, but my understanding is that for PUP, guys have to miss 4 weeks and can start practicing after week 6. The new rules allow for 2 designations who are marked for a return. And not subject to waivers/don't have to be cut.

Seems to me would could use PUP (not IR) to stash All (and Ivey) and that they could start practicing after week 6. 

But like I said, this is not my area, and the rules are new this year, so I could have that wrong.
