Look for Marcus Ball to be activated from the practice squad.

If we do that doesn't he have to sign for at least a few games? I know he is making the trip but that decision is longer than just this game right? Or do I have that all wrong?

Incorrect. We sign him off the PS but have to cut one player form our 53 (prob Jared Norris) to do so. We can then cut Ball after the game if we choose to.

Am I thinking of when we sign someone off of another team's Practice Squad?

Good posting. Questionable now just means "we don't know" if the player will play. I think we see more doubtfuls showing up on injury reports where a player is unlikely. Questionable was kind of 50-50 before, but I think questionable is now anything from there's a chance the player won't play all the way to he might play. Doubtful is now the new good chance they won't play. If the player is pretty much playing, they aren't going to be on the report at all, not probable.

I disagree, IMO probable guys I think will simply become questionable guys under the new format.

I think some may, but given that 95% of probables ended up playing, I thought the goal was to remove the people who everyone knew was playing from the injury report. That said, you could be right that now everyone is just questionable unless they are unlikely to play. I hope that isn't the case because then there's really no point to it at all. Could be based upon teams, like the Patriots.

No, questionable is still the same except probable is grouped into it. If the person has a 50% chance or better or playing, then they are questionable now. Basically, questionable is now just more confusing and less helpful. Thank god the NFL clarified injuries!

There's no requirement for keeping someone from the PS, as far as them physically being on the active roster.  You can sign someone from your own squad, or another team's squad, and cut them the next day.  Payment may be what you're thinking about.  Once signed from the PS, you have to pay them league minimum salary for a certain amount of weeks.  I'm thinking 3 or 4 weeks, but can't recall exactly.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      If you think the NFL or NBA are worried about lawsuits or something like officiating scandals bringing down their empires, I think you're giving them way too much credit.  Go watch the documentary on Tim Donaghy in the NBA and who was involved and what he did.  One of the guys he worked with is still one of the league's top trusted officials, especially for playoff games.  IIRC, they have records showing he was the person Donaghy exchanged phone calls with the most during his time fixing games.  And his reputation is beyond horrible...  but he's untouchable.  I also encourage you to go watch DeMaurice Smith's Breakfast Club interview.  He laid out how for fans, we just know these organizations as a singular, public entity - like THE Carolina Panthers, or THE Dallas Cowboys- but, in actuality, he said that is the public-facing identity of an umbrella company comprised of countless smaller businesses and LLCs.  He is tasked with trying to audit their books, and he said these organizations are structured in such a way that even HE can't ever know what they truly make in a year.  It's impossible.  And now, this is just me speculating on top of that, but you think the league's themselves are structured similarly?  They are untouchable.  IIRC, they are recognized legally as "entertainment" organizations, thus protecting themselves in cases where integrity would come into question.  They are protected, layer, behind layer, behind layer.  Betting works because there is some degree of control that ensures the house wins more than it loses, by a lot.  The short of it is, "Give them bread and circuses" and all that jazz.  These leagues operate with total impunity.  Again, it's not just because I'm a Panthers fan, but even if I wasn't and I watched Superbowl 50 without a dog in the fight I would walk away feeling like that outcome was controlled and influenced HEAVILY to where the Panthers were not given a level playing field.  The same poo happens every Sunday to teams playing those blue blood franchises and ones with intriguing storylines.

      Trade Chuba?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This Chuba isn't getting traded, but Rico very well could be in a few weeks if he keeps playing well in a tandem backfield with Chuba also playing well. I think we'd end up going with a two headed monster in that case, but with Rico being on a one year deal, it does open up the possibility of a contending team offering up a decent pick for him.  Depending on the recovery of Hampton, I could see someone like the Chargers giving us a 4th for him if they think he could put them over the top, he would fit nicely in a Harbaugh system I think. If it comes to that, we need to make that trade, as I can't see any way we re-sign Rico with all our other needs and getting Brooks back too.  And he's not going to get a contract big enough to get us any comp picks in return, especially if/when we sign a FA or two ourselves.  So if we're not going to bring him back, the prudent decision would really be to get a draft pick for him at the deadline.

      Just when we thought it was over

      It's all about what they do at QB. It's clear the rest of the roster is improving. If they commit long term to Young because he's being carried to wins then we're fuged. I think that's a separate issue to finally being competitive again.  There's no QB in this Draft that's going to ride in on his white horse on day one and save us, so we absolutely shouldn't be playing for Draft position.
