Unless the Groin is worse than initially thought. 5 hours ago, ChattanoogaBills said: Assuming he can return by week 10 at full strength this is not that bad. I would perfer to have him for the stretch run as opposed to him playing early and hurt later. 5 hours ago, ColoradoBills said: It doesn't matter anymore. Any 2 players on IR can return to the roster. Apparently this only applies to players on the 53 man roster week 1 of the regular season, I assume to prevent player stashings. If correct, season is over for Gaines. 1
Scott7975 Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) With cornerback EJ Gaines on IR with a groin injury, Brandon Beane and Sean McDermott turn to some help. Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network is reporting that Captain Munnerlyn is signing with the Bills. In ten seasons with the Panthers and Vikings, Captain posted 529 tackles, 10.5 sacks and 12 interceptions. As Garafolo said, the 31 year old Munnerlyn will bring stability and experience to the Bills secondary. Edited August 11, 2019 by Scott7975

If correct, season is over for Gaines. looks like you are correct, thanks One constraint here is that a player must be on the 53-man roster in Week 1 to be eligible for the IR designation to return. That means, anyone who was placed on IR before roster cuts were made to trim the roster down to 53 players is not eligible. https://www.cincyjungle.com/2018/8/31/17797904/explaining-pup-nfi-ir-other-injury-nfl-roster-designations-cuts-53-man-roster
Matt_In_NH Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) So he gets all 1.6 million? Or is an injury settlement possible? Edited August 11, 2019 by mattynh

Pete Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 This could be a blessing in disguise. It frees up roster space(Pitts makes team?). We don't need to cut a CB who would instantly be signed by another team. And it is a CB in bank for playoff run

IDK, it is an odd comment. This is a "problem" that good teams have, and right now, it looks like there may be a few players on the Bills that will be in a different uniform in 3 weeks, although mainly in backup roles. It doesn't matter, really, other than the fact that watching a player cut from the Bills flourishing on another team can be a bit annoying. 1

T master Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 (edited) Gaines is a really good player but this is a good decision because there are to many good players on this team now to hold a roster spot & a maybe !! Thanks to Gaines & good luck in your future next man up !! GO BILLS !! Edited August 11, 2019 by T master
DCofNC Posted August 11, 2019 Posted August 11, 2019 Interested to see how Johnson performs in his absence, hopefully there are too many starters for too few spots out there.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 As a UB fan, I'm thrilled to hear how well Cam Lewis is playing. He's more likely to start the year on the practice squad, but he'll be the first call-up when someone gets nicked.
