I mean would he even be able to play Saturday?

That’s what I was wondering. Some on Twitter saying he’d be eligible to play quicker because he was on a team up until 4 days ago and is current on covid testing, but I have no idea if that’s true or not.

 

I did just read this:

https://www.nfl.com/news/jared-veldheer-to-play-for-two-different-teams-in-same-postseason-after-signing-
‘Jared Veldheer to play for two teams in same postseason after signing with Packers’

 

He was on the colts practice squad and played on Saturday. Now apparently he’s set to play for the packers this weekend.

No.  He might be eligible but unlikely to have mastered enough of our playbook.

 

Look at it this way.  The Bills thought the correct # of RBs to have on the active roster was 4, counting Taiwan Jones, plus 1 on the PS.

 

So now we've lost Moss, they're trying to backfill with the best player available.

? Yeldon?  He is.  But he did just have covid-19, maybe he is having some wind issues or something like Myles Garrett

He is the new DiMarco - "a great locker room guy"

 

Translated - he cleans out the lockers and sweeps the floor?

McBeane is going to do whatever it takes to make sure TJ Yeldon never sees the field as a buffalo bill. 

Well, he IS a liability in pass protection, and had something of a fumbling history with other teams.   He is basically a soft kind of player.   Haven't seen Freeman, but if he is good, he was a monster in his prime.   Who knows?   Leave it to McBeanes.   They have absolutely proven they know what they are doing personnel-wise.

I suspect this is adding RB depth for future playoff games should the bills win on Saturday, not a guy who would actually be ready to play on Saturday.

Yes he is.

Because he will be playing in 4 days.

Yeldon is one of the great mysteries of this regime. Always employed, never working on gamedays. 

 

Looks good in pads ;)

I have no idea, this is usually where you keep a big grinder type RB or small pass catching RB. This is where developmental RB's are usually put but Yeldon is not that either. I don't know why the ***** he is where he is.

Could he possible be related to somebody on the coaching or scouting staff? I worked a ton of different jobs when I was younger, you would always see that one guy who doesn't do ***** all day and you would ask someone  how the hell does that guy even have a job here. I would say 4 out of 8 times you would hear the answer be "that is the owners son". This is what the Yeldon situation feels like.

This is not about not playing Yeldon this week.  This is about making sure that they replace Moss and get the guy through the COVID protocols in the event they beat Baltimore and advance.  If they don't add a running back this week and lose another guy on Saturday, they'll be in trouble.  Beane is doing exactly what needs to be done.  Too bad the JESTS haven't released Frank Gore...lol.
