Winston is an experienced professional lineman and due to injuries we were playing on a scaled back playbook. A rookie, regardless of where he was drafted, does not have that level of experience to pull from.
We will have 3 choices...I just went through all of them. Practice Squad is not a realistic choice. He's had zero practice with the team and is unlikely to get much if any playtime. We have 2 other players also due to come off of PUP. Do we cut a lineman who while be lacking some skill has actual practice and game experience? I may be wrong but I think the most logical move for him is IR..get that knee 100%. Let Paul Alexander continue to teach pro blocking and start with him healthy next year.
Winning makes believers of us all
