Davis to IR, Abanikanda called up from practice squad

[Hagman]

I thought his name was Abandofthehanda.

I call him Abracadabra

I expected what the title said not what they did. I figured sign someone else to the 53 (not necessarily a RB) and call up Abanikanda for this week and then figure it out. Worries me a little (not too much but a little) if we go with what we have in house. But, let's see how Demercado does. The other odd thing is Stephen said in one of the interviews (doesn't mean it was what was going to happen) that Demercado was going to be inactive this week - something along the lines of going from inactive to the #2 guy. So I guess they don't trust him enough to go with just he and Javonte like they were with Davis and Luepke cannot fill that role - been there, done that with that experiment...

If he said that, I'm sure it was a numbers thing since Luepke would be considered the emergency RB. Not sure they brought up Abanikanda because the plan is any different.

Frankly, I thought we might go with Demercado as the No. 2 instead of Davis in the actual games because he brings a little more speed to the position. Davis seemed more like the direct replacement for Williams if he was lost to injury to me, not the guy we wanted to give snaps as a changeup to Williams.

Sucks for Davis. But it's time to get these young guys rolling behind Williams

That's what she said. It looks like a banana before turning into an Anaconda.

Let’s go Abannanapanda!!1!

I know zip about college football or this kid.But he isnt getting a carry unless 1,2 rbs in front of him go down.

 

[Coogiguy03]

truth.

Yeah we can be good, just have to play as a unit, no excuses for Smith being out.

I mean we have him out, who knows what Guyton will give us, Steele hmm, Booker should be fine, coop we shall see

 

[Tangle_Foot]

[DarkVader33]

I'm still baffled by the Davis injury...the exact nature of which has not been disclosed. Nick Eatman described Friday's practice as only slightly more strenuous than a walk-through, which makes the fact that it required almost immediate surgery even more curious.

Fracture, labral tear, dislocation, tendon rupture, impingement...who knows? Most of these injuries require the application of significant force...like a car crash. The bigger question is: How did such a severe hip injury happen to a presumptive RB2 during a light Friday practice?

If you recall, I wanted to draft Abinikanda. I guess he took a less conventional route. But I still like him as a runner for us.

Izzy broke Tony Dorsett’s single game rushing record.

Extremely talented RB who had the misfortune to be drafted by the Jets.

And that no one else really wants. How many college stars don’t make it in the NFL? I bet it’s quite a few.

Will we sign mafa to PS.

They'll probably work out several backs early this week for the practice squad spot. Mafah is probably on the list but my guess is they'll look elsewhere too.
