Tre'Davious White - when will he be ready?

The Injury report.  He's not on it.  He's physically healthy to play.

 

Players go on the injury report when....wait for it...they're injured in a game and receiving treatment, or are limited and don't fully participate in practice.

Players coming off IR or PUP do NOT go on injury report for the same injury when they are practicing fully (and possibly still receiving "routine" treatments).

 

"Practicing fully" does not necessarily mean "performing better than Elam and Benford in practice"

How do you know this?

 

Because he's on the active roster and is not on the injury report.  If he was not cleared, the Buffalo Bills would be violating NFL rules and would lose draft picks if he wasn't.  These inactive are also known as "Healthy Scratches."

I have not been at practice, nor have I sat in on all his meetings with trainers and doctors. Therefore, I have no desire to have a firm yet completely uninformed opinion.

I don’t think it’s too hard to figure out with White having been back at practice a while, McDermott and Eric Woods and Chris Brown’s comments.

 

It appears all about confidence at this point. He’s physically ready but not mentally. 
 

IMO, it’s time he plays or goes on IR. And that is no bash on White. It’s just time to lace them up because the team needs you and you are physically ready or look forward to next season if he can’t mentally get over the hurdle.

 

One or the other.

Considering we have 4 active receivers, I'd say WR is an important spot that needs players.....

 

I see 5 active WR on yesterday's gameday roster.  Strangely enough, this was achieved through NFL rules without the need to inactivate Tre White on IR.

See above.  This is not correct.

So you agree then?  He's physically able to play.  Nobody is saying we want 50 snaps.  Putting him in for 10-15 snaps a game isn't asking for a lot.

Is it?

 

There were posters saying that Eric Wood and Chris Brown were starting to question Tre White’s desire to start playing in yesterdays pre-game show.

 

 

 

 

Transcript? Not that I'm saying some posters are unreliable in interpretation of events. But I'd love to read or hear exactly what they said. 

[thenorthremembers]

I know the OP is getting slammed for the post but the more this goes on the less wrong he is.    You have teammates getting shot up with painkillers to get through a game and despite being healthy you aren't mentally ready?  This isn't MLB or Basketball where teams can afford rest games for their stars.   Its time for Tre to play.

It is correct.  He's being considered a healthy scratch.  Just like A.J. Klein is.  And if you're trying to do a "gotcha" thing with Tanner Gentry, you're a fool.  Absolutely no way they'd line him up in a WR role.  He's nothing more than a ST.

When is the last time you read a transcript of what was said on the radio during a Bills pre-game show?

I've been getting slammed for 2 weeks now.  I'm feeling more and more proud of my stance as each game passes.  Right now Tre White is $17M in dead cap for this team.  It's preventing us from being a serious contender for OBJ.

No, that's not what I said.   Being uninjured does not mean "physically able to play a game at a level better than the other DB can put forth right now".

 

Giving a guy 10-15 snaps a game is a luxury of preseason.  If a guy is on the active gameday roster, the Bills need to believe he can play a game.

Great, another Tre' is a puss thread. All you weekend warriors who are willing to jeopardize his knee can go ***** yourselves.

So IR Tre White so we can sign the next great practice squad wr. Maybe we can talk Jerry Rice out of retirement?

 

So it's Tre White plays on Thursday or he's preventing us from signing Jerry Rice... Got it.

You sound like someone who has torn their ACL while playing a position in the NFL that requires a lot of lateral movement. 

 

How did your recovery go? 

...and you sound like it's your money.  Is that you, Terry?

Does GR archive the recordings to listen to? Idk, I've never looked. But I'd legitimately love to hear what was actually said.

At least that practice squad player will be on the field trying to play for this team.  

[DrDawkinstein]

I love Tre, but dude needs to get back on the field, or let us find someone who actually wants to play football.
