Nice. Any inside scoop and "discussions" with Cooley?

So do we have to wait until week 8 to get him back or is it 8 weeks from the date you put him on the new IR? Either way, glad we get the ability to take him off the roster for 8 weeks and then put him back on.

Has to miss the next 8 weeks of games, nothing new on Cooley

Wait so isn't it everyone goes to IR if they're injured. If their not that injured, theres one player that can go on IR and come back right? So are we wasting that one spot on a LS?

Not sure I follow what you're asking

What I'm asking is this:

Theres always been IR, which is a player gets injured and put there and cant return for the rest of the season.

Now theres this new IR, which I heard is when a player gets injured but gets the designated to return tag on him. I also heard that only once in the whole season can you use the 'designated to return tag' once.

So my questions are; Is it true you can only use that once? And if its true that you can only use it once, did we just use that on a freakin LS?

[SmootSmack]

Yes. And yes

So when Orakpo or London or Trent Williams or someone like that breaks their leg and is out for 5 weeks we're just screwed then in terms of giving up their roster spot to someone else and putting them on this special new IR..which we used that 1 time thing on a freaking LS...wow

Well I mean I guess they could assume someone else
could get hurt just enough to miss significant time yet return during the season (though you chose some odd examples), but right now no one else did and they had to make a decision on Sundberg

The baddest mo-fo long snapper on the planet.

Totally worth it.

Chances are good that Oakland may have scooped Sundberg up if we released him, and other teams too.

He's a quality longsnapper. It's a position we forget about and take for granted. We only notice these guys when they screw up...so when you have a good one like we do, you hang onto him.
