Update: Malcolm Kelly To Be Placed On IR

I know it was asked before, but is there a limited number of spots on IR?

no there isn't

Thanks

Last year I was really hoping that Thomas and Kelly could push Moss to the slot at some time during the season. This year, I wouldn't be surprised if both were cut. (I think Thomas makes the team) I've been really disappointed in these two and I was hoping for a lot out of each of them. Kelly seemed more polish, but that guy must be made of glass. I say IR him and see if he can make the team next camp, if not, screw it, he can't stay healthy.

Seems like only yesterday many of us were ready to push Moss, Portis, and Rogers aside and move on without them...and now they're back to being integral parts of the team

I was ready to dump Carlos, but not the other two. I love those two, Carlos has gotten a little better however unless he can stop getting beat on those double moves then he should get the boot.

I say keep Kelly, but it just sucks that he's gonna have to go to IR. Wish he could be on the roster sometime this season but hey, gotta do what you have to do. He'll be here next year along with DT.

Yeah, I definitely went through a "I'm done with..." phase with each one of them and now I'm like, "We'll be screwed without them." I will say I would like to see more consistency from Santana re:catching the football, but he's played pretty well this preseason, maybe new scheme and QB will benefit him more than I thought.

I remember when I was pulling for Thomas and Kelly to be Brandon Marshall and Keyshawn Johnson lite, now I just hope they have some sort of career with the Redskins.

Seems like only yesterday many of us were ready to push Moss, Portis, and Rogers aside and move on without them...and now they're back to being integral parts of the teamI still feel that Moss is a bit high-maintenance for the production he brings. He still has a lot of the skills that made him a top 10 NFL receiver from 2004-2006, and flashes them periodically, but he wastes a crap ton of plays by just finding the nearest defender and basically covering himself.

But with this year's team somehow even more thin at WR than last years, he's got to be the focal point of the passing offense, consistency issues and all.

Portis, I'm good with. He doesn't have much long play ability (and really hasn't since 2007), but he's been explosive around the line of scrimmage all summer, and he won't be a detriment to our offense this year. He should eek out 1,000 yards again.
