Ike Boettger to PUP

[YoloinOhio]

 

[Rubes]

As expected.

 

Interesting that they think he could be back this year from that injury. Always thought that was a tough one to come back from in just a year.

 

[Warcodered]

Beane said he had a bit of a set back in his rehab process but that he thought he'd be back this year.

No surprise there, 

[Gugny]

I'm afraid Tre White will be added to this list next week.

[GunnerBill]

The plan with Ike is get him ready for the stretch run and the playoffs. He would be a really nice safety blanket depth piece to have in case of injuries to our starting 5 in January.

Obviously I'm not on the field or in the locker room but I'm convinced Ford was a lazy turd. We really could of used a piece like him if he was buying in, especially knowing ike won't be reliable for this year.

 

Hopefully a depth piece drops on waivers

Possible. I think we are getting to crunch time. By this time next week the docs either have to clear him to start practising, in which case he is on the 53 and probably starts week 3 or 4, or they have to PUP him.

Does that put us at 80 for our roster, so no more moves today?

Yes

[ColoradoBills]

He no doubt was headed there anyways.  Hope he can recover to come back as healthy as possible and help his teammates.

The move got them to 80 so at least another guy gets another week to show his stuff.

Get well soon Ike.

I agree. We're too close to the season to expect Tre to come back at full go with no practice. 4 games won't be too bad.

Those first 4 games are really tough opponents . If he is NOT put on PUP,maybe he only misses 1 or 2 games?

I hate to read this but it is probably going to happen.  They do not need to rush him back.

Id rather keep him on the 53 and hope he's ready to rock in week 2, 3, etc.

Yeah it's a shame. I'd love to see him out there but my guess is that they take the roster space and PUP Tre for the 4 weeks. Hard to know from here though

Perhaps but I can see the Bills wanting the roster spot

My intuition re: Tre says that OBD is weighing PUP vs short term IR.  Plays in week 5 if PUP and misses first 6 games and bye week if on IR (1st game vs GB at hjome then).

 

I would prefer they shelve him as will need him in late season and post season more.

the team is probably more concerned about him being at full strength at the end of the season vs the beginning.

 

the first 4 games are tough but from a pass defense perspective i think they can get by. 

[JakeFrommStateFarm]

Tough injury for a 330 LB person

 

It will take at least a year
