Do you think he’ll make it to the practice squad? Perhaps taking Ed Gant’s spot?

It will be interesting to see who they sign. I think we all saw Long’s departure since his performance in the preseason. I don’t see him being on the PS. I wondered if he would make it to Patrick’s return. Do we bring in someone on DL to replace K. Iwebema? (Is Kenny’s ankle worse than first thought?) Maybe promote Dykes? Maybe Lee Robinson or Harrington? Barksdale is the type of Corner the Cards like- tall and decent speed. Urban suggested he thought it would be a younger player that was brought in. I would be surprised if they bring in a safety. R. Johnson has been playing in nickle packages and I think with Brown they could cover for Ware. Ware’s injury is short term at worse.

Yet the timing is of note… right after the first game. The timing seems premeditated. For me that brings up the possibility of a veteran as many of us have suggested before. If a veteran does not play in the first game then his base salary is not guaranteed. Two come to mind: 1- Hobson. We all thought he was a curious release. Davis had said late in pre-season that Hobson had found a home and knew he had a good thing going. It makes sense to me. 2-Tackle. I still think the Cards are talking to Levi Jones. The AZ native wants starter money but he and the Cards may still be able to reach an agreement. Recent contract adjustments with Fitz and Wilson may have brought some cap flexibility. After the way Gandy and L. Brown played last game I wouldn’t be surprised. Gandy is in a contract year and is over paid at this point. I like the addition of Bridges and think he is a better RT than Brown at this point.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what comes later today.

I think that injury hurts our depth alot on the D-Line rotation….also my dad was upset about the injury because I believe he’s the only Iowa Hawkeye on the team haha.
