Injury settlement?

Meh, 2 to 4 weeks. I realize that, ideally, he should be practicing, but it could be a lot worse.

He must've tried to block Micah. Brave. Stupid, but brave.

He's lucky he's not out for the season.

Being out the next 2 to 4 weeks severely impacts his chances to make the team. This is his time to convince them. Next month is too late.

This is likely right. Its a shame for him but thats how it goes sometimes.

McGovern is going to need something to do during the season anyway, because Tyler Smith will be at LG.

Considering there's nobody competing for the job, he'll probably be okay.

He will be back in 3 weeks . No worries

we're not carrying a true FB under Kellen Moore anyways ...

No reason to carry one for a handful of plays, unless he's a stud on special teams.

Perhaps. But if they just want a FB for a few plays each game, and to be on the inactive list some weeks, they kind of already know what they've got with Nall. He was never going to be a full-time player anyway.

He could easily land on the practice squad, or just as a free agent, and be signed by Dallas if another team doesn't sign him.

Not a high-priority player.

Carrying a FB on the 53 just isn't in the cards for the way the game is played right now. Unless you can give him ten carries a game, it's a dying to dead breed.

 

[fivetwos]

Now THIS is a problem.

Just when it seemed like Moore was about to settle into a fullback oriented ground and pound offense.....

 

[Typhus]

He gone.

 

[Vinnie2u]

We are one injury away from having Alfred Morris as our RB2...

 

[john van brocklin]

I did not know we had a fullback on the roster.
They are dinasours these days.
Cant McGovern handle these duties?

 

[G2]

Off my fantasy team, I've had it!

 

[gimmesix]

I hate that we have no one to cover those two to three snaps per game. We might as well call off the next couple of preseason games.

I expected (expect) Nall to be carried because he can be the fullback, third running back and a core special-teamer. I think that's why we picked him up. There are definitely not enough snaps to carry just a fullback.

McGovern is the returning FB.
