What are we doing with Lachlan Edwards?

Forgive me, as I felt I was fairly knowledgeable and informed on the way the previous roster mechanics worked prior to the change in roster rules with the pandemic, but I just saw we listed him as a protected PS guy this week, again.  

Any idea why we haven't brought him up on the active yet?  I thought Charlton's IR designation was out for the season?  So, why aren't we promoting him to the active 53?  Maybe hoping to bring another punter in?  I thought Edwards has been solid, and at the very least, much better than Charlton was.

3 weeks.

NFL changed IR and practice squad rules last year with the pandemic and it's honestly been great for everyone.

Oh yes and I think we are manipulating with the PS and IR as well.  I just get the feeling teams are using these 3 week IR for some roster management, sort of an extended PS protected status.  Idk, maybe these guys have legit minor injuries that it's better to get them off the roster than have them take up space for a couple weeks.  Which I'm talking about backup guys like Darryl Johnson.  I have a feeling he will go off IR whenever another Dlineman goes down and we need more depth there.

Why waste a roster spot on a street FA punter?

Lachlan Edwards will probably stick on the Practice Squad for awhile. Charlton hasn't practiced yet and may not for a couple of weeks. He wasn't playing well earlier this year so the coaching staff will probably hang on to Edwards to punt even after Charlton returns. If Charlton does not do well or has a setback, Lachlan will take over the job cause the team will cut Charlton or, more likely, place on season ending IR.

Charlton was off for sure, but I remember this Lachlan fella being pretty pedestrian if not outright awful at least in one of the losses. 

Lachlan has only punted one game for us. It was Ryan something two games ago and we booted his butt and signed Lachlan. He averaged about 44 yds a punt vs the ATL. Not Great but better than the 39 yards Charlton was averaging before he went on IR

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
