Injury update

Brooks - ACL Tear. Prob don’t see him until TC 2026 

Horn - aggravated a groin he had been playing through. Seems he could go this weekend but I’d just shut him down and get the extension done. He’s shown out this year 

Blackshear - looks like it wasn’t serious and he’s day to day. Could play this weekend with Mike Boone to be behind Chubba

Dan could sign a RB off another PS. Michael Carter is on AZs.

I want to elevate Bailey from the practice squad not Boone.

It's too late in the season to bring in players if you're not in the playoffs race. They will roll with the guys they already have that knows the offense. If they get down to just 3 before the season is over it really doesn't matter anyway.

I mean that's what I was thinking with this move, 2024 is over, go with 2025 plan. Michael is only 25 and former 4th rounder. I doubt Brooks will be allowed to play in 2025, so #2 RB is on the menu. There are around 30 RBs on PS and why not try to find a young one able to fill the backup role? 

Boone is 29 years old, I surprised he's still here. I don't see how he's part of the 2025 plan or future.

I'm not even thinking that far out. There will be a major churn in the offseason.

Yes, there's nearly a 40% turn over each year, more with new staff.

I've already look into some- 33 players with contracts (maybe 2 of more cuts) and 8 draft picks

No STs players, including the returner.

It's a decent chance to look at RB whom staff could have glowing reports in 2024 for 2025. Like the above returner is needed given blackshear is a FA. 

Got to hope/believe 2 practice squad players and 2 UDFAs make the team.

Now you're at 43+/- with around 20 million in cap space for the last 10. Dan got a hard time filling the roster, especially special teams.
