No real surprises to me but maybe Craig Reynolds being cut, but I think he is coming back either way. Nelson must have some damn good diversity depth over Ifedi, because I didn't see much of anything from him in preseason.

[def]

I'd replace Cabinda with Reynolds. I get it's a different position but not by much. And I'm sure Starling Thomas is going on the PS but he's good on kickoffs.

Is it the time of year where everyone way overvalues the impact of who composes the practice squad and the bottom of the roster?

I think it is.

Or maybe just a talking point since there is no NFL for the next 7 days and the NFL has to be 24/7/365.

If Reynolds is on the PS and one of the RB gets hurt in a game, can they activate a player during the game to the active roster? Does anybody know?

I can't imagine going into a game with only 2 backs active on the roster. One guy gets hurt the other is taking every snap?

No, they have to be on active roster.

And they won’t go with 2. I’d guess Reynolds(or maybe another RB)will be brought in once they IR whoever they plan on.

I predict it will be Moseley. I think they can IR him now and he would just miss the first 4 weeks.

They could have just left him on the PUP for that. Pretty sure PUP is 4 weeks now, too.

I think you're right. I was thinking it was still 6. Only thing I can think of is maybe they wanted him to get some practices in? I just don't see Moseley being activated for at least the first few weeks of the season. Even if he's healthy, the dude hasn't been able to do anything all preseason and can't be game ready.

I doubt he’s doing anything week 1, 2 at the earliest. But yeah they had to activate him to get him practice reps. He stays on PUP or goes on IR you’re really losing him until after the bye. This way he can at least give you a little something within first 4 weeks.

J Okwara to IR, brought back Reynolds to fill that roster spot.

 A bit of tongue and cheek. With Hooker on IR it appears to be an "In case of disaster" signing. He has started a few NFL games to be fair.

And was in camp with them last year so probably has an ok feel for the offense. Could do much worse for a practice squad QB.

[rustyhilger]

I'm pretty sure I was at the Bears game where he got his first start and I think he threw a TD on his very first throw. :D

Some of my friends were like "Hey, your backup looks pretty good. We should sign him."

I just kinda' shook my head at that one, but went along with it. It is kinda' shocking though. That I have friends.
