I think what @Beck Water was saying aligns with this, it’s just that presumably the player in question would rather be on his current team’s 53 than change teams. I agree that it doesn’t have to go down like that, but I would be pretty surprised if it ever did. 
 

(Beck, please correct me if I’m wrong.)

You don't have to be a Doctor to know that if you have Neck Fusion surgery and miss multiple games when you return to recurring Stingers in the repaired Neck that your neck isn't in great shape.

 

You don't have to do a physical to look at someone in front of a camera to see that someones lost weight. Even Dion Dawkins said he looked like he lost a lot of weight and was telling him he's gotta "get some burgers in him or something".

 

It's possible that he starts conditioning and after a few weeks he'll be in game shape to be called upon if there's an injury. But with McDermott saying "not much" when asked about what his role will be and Hyde saying he has to adapt to his new role - with the shape he's in, it doesn't seem to me right now that this is much more than a player coach role and possibly getting him a ring.

 

I'm not saying he definitively won't see the field. But the idea that he definitively will and will play a large role seems far off to me right now. But by all means, go ahead and treat this like you did Christian Kirksey's Practice Squad signing and balk at the idea that it might not be as big of a thing as you see it as.

he’s injury insurance through the season and a well liked guy that makes the Monday-Saturday a better experience immediately

I recall Dawkins yesterday mentioned Hyde needs to go upstairs to eat. He did look small. In the video below around 15 second mark, Hyde practiced against Cam Lewis (#39) and Lewis is listed 183lb. You can see the size comparison with your eyes. Maybe Hyde was not fully anticipating in coming back this season by keeping up his nutrition intake.

He’s probably not lifting to keep weight on and he’s probably been doing a lot of cardio 

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

He looks quite quick and athletic I would say.

[NickelCity]

He's thin and needs to lift / put on weight. He mentioned this in his intro press conference.

[Slippery Rubber Mats]

I'm less concerned with his weight and more concerned with his speed

This randomly brings to mind a guy I lived with out of college - I rented a room in his house when I started my first job.  He fancied himself a 'bodybuilder' and was always trying to 'bulk up' (this was long ago before nutritional supplements were so popular).  Every morning he would make his lunch - he would take a full loaf of bread - put luncheon meat between every other slice - and carry the loaf of sandwiches and a gallon of milk to work and just eat sandwiches out of it during the day.  He did this every day.  He was a weird dude

what has he been doing to this point—no lifting and weight gain?  He’s going to start this now?

Yeah, I thought this was a pre-planned event.  Now their talking about weight changes, at this stage?

He's been doing some but has been running more than he used to, or in higher proportion. I don't think he's so far away that two weeks of heavy lifting and calories won't get him there.

Who is faster in a foot race today, Damar Hamlin or Micah Hyde?

I'd put money on Hyde. Especially since he's a bit light in the ass. Even if it was a dead heat Hyde's instincts and awareness/ positioning are far better than Hamlin will ever be.

Just add a quick 10 lbs of muscle by Week 17. No big deal.

I've decided I'm rooting for Hyde to be so impressive that he gets himself back on the field

 

In fact, Hyde could be an X factor in the playoffs.....   3 Safety / Dime looks with him being a ball hawk

I don't think he's going to play, despite all the hype. I think this is a locker room move 1st, and then just insurance in case Hamlin, Rapp, and Cole go down. I also think it's McD throwing him a bone and bringing him back for the run since he's well loved by the players and fans. But if he has to play, I think we'll all be disappointed by what we see. There is no way he's in any sort of game shape, and he won't get there between now and January.

Taylor Rapp non contact jersey in practice. yikes

His neck is not in playable shape. As one of the Twitter Doctor's have pointed out, getting stingers post Fusion surgery is GG's. He also looks to have lost a lot of weight since last season. It doesn't look like he's stayed in playing shape in the practically a year since being away from the squad.

 

Dude.  "Twitter doctor" really?

 

The Bills have team physicians who give physicals to every player they sign.  In Hyde's case they have detailed access to his prior medical history.

 

Do you honestly think they're going to sign him if "he isn't in playable shape"?

 

His face looks thinner.  But as for the rest of him, how do you know "he isn't in playable shape"?

Hmm, what part of "He's a free agent, he can make his own choice" was insufficiently clear (first sentence of my post)
