I thought we put Sundberg on that special IR spot. Plus, I think Rak needs to get healthy, especially since this is basically re-injuring his pectoral muscle.

We used the IR option on our long snapper.

Some of the same people who wanted to trade Orackpo on this website or now calling for doom because he's gone. Rob Jackson stepped up before and played well for us. I'm sure he can do it again.

We did? I wasn't sure if we used that for Sundberg or not. I was thinking we haven't.

Probably best to shut him down and let him get back to 100%. I don't think he was fully recovered from that re-aggravation from the preseason. It was probably only a matter of time before he messed it up again.

Who's that specifically?

We did.

The Redskins designated Sundberg for return under a new NFL rule that allows each team to re-activate one player per year from IR. Under the rule, Sundberg must miss at least six weeks of practices and at least eight games.

Nick Sundberg says he’ll be ready to play when IR time is up

If there's one plus it's that LB is probably our deepest position this season.

Well darn it! Of course, it's probably best for Orakpo. No need to rush him back anyway I guess. I look at it like this, having the next guy(s) up will only strengthen our depth and experience, so let's see what happens!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE Keep Kerrigan healthy!

Nobody worth listening to that's for sure.

we're not doomed, it's an opportunity for a antonio pierce or ryan clark to emerge

WTF,did I miss something?
