So Wegher beat out Reaves

[Jeremy Igo]

That was quick. 

 

Wegher is certainly an interesting prospect. Releasing Reaves means he will get increased snaps in camp.

Could be a good sleeper roster pick.

Wait what? Who is Wegher?

[CatMan72]

Can't teach that speed, hope we can stash him on the PS.

I'm assuming Stewart, Fozzy & CAP all make the 53 man roster (kind of a no brainer...), and I'm pretty confident Todman might make it too. 

I think Wegher will make the Practice Squad.

I've been thinking for awhile that Reaves might be a casualty as far as the roster.  Assuming no other team grabs him, will he still be eligible for the PS after camp now that we've waived him?

Is it unusual to carry 4 RBs?  Here's how I have the offense shaking out on the 53 man roster at the moment:

Offense	QB	2
	TE	3
	FB	1
	RB	4
	C	2
	OG	3
	OT	5
	WR	6
	Off Total	26

 so that assuming lee ward doesnt make the roster 

[KB_fan]

I personally am assuming Ward is a likely candidate for the PS. 

[davos]

I'm excited to see him and Ward this preseason.

Players that get cut before camp starts usually are not seen on the practice squad.

What was Reaves practice squad eligibility situation? I can never keep those rules straight.

What was Reaves practice squad eligibility situation? I can never keep those rules straight.

I've been thinking he is eligible.  He played only 6 games last year (his first year).  I'm not sure how many games he was on the active roster, but I *THINK* he had less than an accrued season [Update: it looks like Reaves was only active for the 6 games he played in, so that should mean he is eligible]

Here is a simplified version of the rules:

A player can be eligible if he does not have an accrued season in the NFL, although the NFL has now approved a maximum of two spots on the PS for players with no more than two accrued seasons. To have an accrued season, you have to be active for at least six regular-season games. A player can also go to the practice squad with an accrued season provided they were on the 45-man active roster for less than nine-regular season games.

I really like Wegher and it seems like the staff does as well. He brings a lot to  the table. Speed, power and quickness. Hope he performs well in camp and the preseason and at least gets on our practice squad incase of an injury

[Daddy_Uncle]

I feel like he can be this year's Philly

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea, I've been pretty high on Wegher.  Hope he gets a fair chance.
