Let’s go play a violent game on a short week, and better yet let’s handicap ourselves and play and prepare one man short. Awesome idea

What part of we have 6 players potentially coming off IR in the next couple of weeks don't you get?  At least 4 or 5 of these players will be placed back on the active roster.  Unless this mystery player is an upgrade over everyone on the active roster and practice squad, it wasn't worth it to just sign someone to have another body for 2 weeks...especially if this player was signed off the street where he wouldn't have been ready to play in the first place.  We have to remove 4 or 5 players from the active roster for Prince, Taylor-Britt, Anderson, Kareem, and maybe Wilson  We have 1 known move with Sample going to IR. Reader is likely a 2nd.  That means there are 2 or 3 more tough decisions to make.  No need to add yet another player into the mix.

Drew Sample not going on IR immediately is not going to make or break this team
