Bills open 21-day practice window for Marquez Stevenson

[hemma]

Can’t wait!

Another guy that people will talk about here and there for months/years….never will make a difference. Probably won’t ever even get a shot. Hodgins, the rugby RB, Duke Williams, etc

He's put permanently on IR for the remainder of the year.

 

Unless the Bills sustain any other WR injuries, this is what is going to happen.

 

That said, what happens if, at the end of the 21 days, the Bills decide that he is healthy enough to play, but they don't want to activate him to the 53?  Do they simply waive/release him?  I think the plan would be to try and get Stevenson healthy and then find a way to get him to the Practice Squad.  Stevenson is an asset who they have drafted and developed, and he has some talent, but I don't believe that he offers the team anything more than any existing WRs (or PRs or KRs) on the roster.

They only have 5 WRs on the roster.  I'd be willing to think he may have a spot.

Then again, he might just get cut and end up on the PS.

We can now pass on Odel Beckham

He'll be as ready to play at the beginning as he will at the end based on what he has shown the past two seasons. Meaning, he won't be.

Can we make him a corner back or safety

Kumerow was hurt again this past game.  Ankle I believe.  Bills might need Stevenson at some point this season.   If anything, to be a deep threat and open up things underneath for Diggs and Davis.

He's an alright return man, I'd like to see him play offense but its 2 years in and the most i remember was a cool play in a preseason game from Fromm of all people. 

I would also like to see what he can do in the offense. If nothing else then to run fly routes and help open things up underneath. That said, you’re absolutely right. He’s shown almost nothing to this point and dude HAS to stay healthy. Though I’m not sure he’s ready, now would be a good time for him to get back with Kumerow week to week again.

This guy will bring a spark. Was talking about him all off season.  Definitely an X factor with insane speed

They can injury settlement him possibly?  I think once you hit IR twice though ur cooked.

That's funny, I had a dream last night where he caught the winning TD on the last play of the game against the Ravens in a playoff game after Josh heaves it into the end zone and it bounces off of the Ravens #5 into his hands. Then he points and laughs in his face and gets called for a taunting penalty, but it doesn't matter bc there's no time left on the clock and the Bills won. 

[DCofNC]

Just getting him cleared to play so there is no injury settlement when he’s released.

Man. I forgot how many Stevenson haters there are. 😂
 

Personally, I like the guy. Doesn’t mean squat if he doesn’t get healthy and produce on the field. I’m not expecting him to be the savior or anything, but all accounts were that he was having a solid training camp before getting hurt. The guy can play outside and has speed. I’m happy he’s working back in. 

Worst field vision ever. Worst. Runs with the vision of a blindfolded Helen Keller.

Oh, come on now. Yes, he had a few returns where he ran up on/into his blockers, but worst field vision ever? Time will tell I suppose, but he only played in 5 games as a returner. Had decent stats, but he was a rookie that looked like he was playing tight to me. His college stats and tape are solid, but looks like his final season was (you guessed it) beset with injuries that limited his production.
 

We gave guys like TJ Graham 31 games for crying out loud. Guy had the coordination of a newborn giraffe. The least we can do is give this guy a couple more opportunities to prove himself. He’s a 6th round pick, so my hopes aren’t all that high, but I’m hoping he can develop into decent depth. Personally, I’d like to see what he can do on offense. Not as a focal point or anything, but a few plays here and there like Kumerow gets.

Muffquez is back?  Forgot he was even on the team.

No shakir is damn good. The point is Stevenson is touted as “fast.” He’s not. He’s also tiny. He doesn’t add anything to the offense. And as of now they use shakir in the slot only and what for 5 snaps a game and maybe 1 target.
