Charles Tapper Getting Close?

[Sepia]

Mickey Spagnola mentioned him on today's Talkin Cowboys. Said something about him getting in better shape, but still needs a while to get into football shape.

Mickey says (around the 50:00 mark on my podcast) they brought up Tapper after Garrett's press conference, and Tapper is "getting close but not quite ready to play." He said they would have to activate him, and then give him a few weeks of practice to get in football shape.

Not to turn this into another Nerve Watch, but we sure could use him.





Edit: It was Talkin Cowboys, not Cowboys Break.

I thought they put him on season ending IR....?

 

[Vinnie2u]

Who plays first. Jaylon Smith or Tapper?

 

[JBS]

Is he even eligible to return?

 

[J_Allen]

I hope so. We need help.

He is on IR. But Dallas has yet to use its designated to return.

Who else is on IR other than Collins

Who else of significance? Anyone?

 

[Titleist]

Heard on the ticket today that he could be back for the playoffs

They could either bring Tapper back or La'el Collins.

Tapper. The back deal is actually not that bad as my wife has it and like him had no clue.

It's between Tapper or Collins
One or the other but not both

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

Yep, on IR. You have him, Lael Collins, Kellen Moore and Geoff Swaim. It's going to come down to Collins and Tapper. Collins is a starting quality OL that would be a major insurance policy for an injury along the OL. Tapper is a question mark. Even though we have a need for a pass rusher, do we know enough about Tapper and what he can bring to take him over Collins? And how far away is each, that is a key too.

 

[JBS]

Defense looks great

Tapper
Smith
Gregory

Sounds good

The rule changed this year. You no longer have to designate the player you wish to bring back when placing them on IR. There isn't an IRDTR now essentially. Basically anyone who goes on IR and is on it for the required amount of time is eligible to be brought back.
