Eatman: Joseph Randle in a walking boot **UPDATED: no mention of IR**

[cej757]

according to Nick Eatman, Randle is in a walking Boot and he doesn't know when it happened. He thinks it's possible that he could go on IR if they need his roster spot. So it looks like Williams could be called up on Thursday.

So much for Jerry using Randle to get Murray to lower his salary requirements.

Never ever hope for an injury but if Williams runs anything like what we saw, may have a gem. However between randle and heath, our special teams takes a major hit, which is the Eagles game changer right now.

As much as I like Williams I wouldn't have minded getting Ben Tate or LeGarrette Blount if they were still available.

Speaking of ST, any sign of dekoda Watson last night?

Looks like fans will get their wish.

Blount would've been our Chris Warren, but I like Williams he appears to be a tough runner.

Are we sure Randle wasn't just stealing the walking boot?

 

[Typhus]

Im actually surprised that no other team in need of a RB, has not come after Williams on our practice squad. Makes me wonder what is really wrong with this kid, he cant be that invisible, can he?

Even better, use Ryan williams. The superior runner, anyway.

The issue is who takes randle's place on ST

Correct. Special teams takes the biggest hit.

I wonder when this happened????

i thought he was awful at pass protection - would make me nervous to see him in passing downs

 

[Idgit]

Am I the only one more excited to see Williams in the starting lineup than Randle? And I've been impressed with Randle this season after not liking him at all last year.

Sucks to lose JR on STs, though. Especially with the Eagles coming up.

I'm sure he is. That's the only way he lost a spot to randle. That and special teams. But he is the better runner imo.
