Balto 723 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Not a huge deal. Probably just want to make sure he is 100% and can cone off PUP at anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 If we know they aren’t going to be ready week 1 then open a spot for someone who can be and possibly contribute as depth past that. Thompson seems like a reasonable pickup for depth and maybe he pushes Watts for PT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Wonder if Osemele was in the works because of Rankins. Seems like that might have been known before LDT made his decision. Either way glad we signed him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Not a surprise about Thornhill. It can take up to a year to recover from his injury and it's only been seven months or so. Reports are that he is running full speed but that doesn't mean he's ready to play. No need to rush. mex and West 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hopefully just a roster move to keep some people on board for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFCWEST 1,238 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 The roster will really be 57 because you get 16 on the PS and can protect 4 of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 1, 2020 Share Posted August 1, 2020 Hate to lose him for 6 games but better than bringing him back too quick. Razor thin at safety. Don’t know if we can run the 3 safety sets that Spags likes so much. Big ouch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know who that third safety is though. They didn’t have enough faith in Watts so they started fuller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Just because Thornhill is on PUP for now doesn't mean they can't bring him back. Somewhere, I read that the rules are different this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see not doing contact drills but the rest seems harmless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to assign players to the pup before they practice even once though, as PUP is only for players hurt due to football related activities prior to camp. If they practice or play in a game they're ineligible and you have to use the IR designation instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
