If he is placed on PUP he does not take up a roster spot but we won't have him available for at least 6 weeks. Do we really want to lose him for 2-3 more games than we anticipate him needing to be ready. He stays on the 53
The big question mark is do we choose to carry Peerman on the 53 or place him on IR. A broken arm is usually a 6-8 week injury. If we place him on IR then we may end up having decide whether to bring him or Jackson back when they heal. If I had to bet, we carry Peerman...we never want to lose a Pro Bowl player and a steady leader for the season if we have to. That leaves us the option of bringing Jackson back if we need to.
Winning makes believers of us all
