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.
Word is his knee is 100%. My guess is if their investment is ready to play, they will try to get him some practice and game experience sooner rather than later.
