I heard on the LaVar and Dukes show (so take this for what it's worth) that it could "rupture at any time." If that's the case, it was definitely the right call to shut him down. The team has to protect a guy from himself and make sure he's not going to talk trainers into thinking he can go. If they let him go and he gets hurt, I'd blame the team. It makes sense to IR him and not have to take that risk.

The season's over anyway, no sense in putting him out there. We know what we have. I want to know if Doughty is good enough to be a part of this team going forward. I'd like to find that out about Horton too, but I think we may already have our answer on that. As for Doughty, he's a fair backup, but I wouldn't mind looking into FA for someone to make him earn his spot next year.
