Moreland is back but on IR.

Must admit, most years I'd expect about 6-7 from our own camp roster plus 3-4 from other releases. This year they obviously haven't seen anyone else released that's better than our own guys. Hopefully that's a good sign.

That is the half full approach. Must admit I look at from the half empty approach, I am amazed none of our roster (which I thought was talented) was valued by 31 other teams to bring them onto their squad. Only Steven Montez was given a spot, and QB is always overvalued. That none of the WRs or DL was taken says something, and it's not good.

That said the neutral portion of it is that our culture and team building is positive enough that if players had a choice of Practice Squads and teams, and I am sure some did, they chose to stay here.

It's still only the second year of our rebuild and we've come much farther than I expected. We're still working on the overall team depth but we seem to have upgraded some units since last season.

Specifically, here where I hope you'll agree we've probably gotten better:

Defensive Backfield
Offensive Line
Wide Receiver
Tight End

Units that might be a little better:

Quarterback - Hard to say at this point and we still need that "Franchise" QB.
Running Back - Ummm, I dunno. We'll see.
Defensive Line - We got Matty I back at DT but lost Ryan K at DE. Backup DE's seem to be weak.

Units that seem to be about the same:

Linebacker - Wafer thin depth.

Units that might have slipped a notch:

Special Teams - K seems to be declining. PR/KR sucks, as usual.

Yeah that surprises me too.
But kudos to our coaching staff for knowing who they could cut and still get back on the PS...

I don't see him there. He has a knee bruise, don't see him going to IR for that.

It is weird in that it's not really listed anywhere but I here is a link from cbs fantasy
https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/fo...jured-reserve/

Says that since he cleared waivers he reverted to our IR.

Mmmh, interesting. It sounds more like an automatic rules that makes him de facto be on our IR after clearing waivers with an injury designation rather than the team actually bringing him back. That would be why he's not mentioned on the team's website...
What I don't know is if other teams can sign him or not...

Yeah, it sounds automatic, but opens up questions like: is that why we only have 15 practice squad members? Or Is he eligible to return at some point?

Yop, really weird situation. I'm surprised he cleared waiver, and this create an, if not never seen, at least never noticed situation... am I wrong ?
