That's right and no need to activate him at this point.
Should have put Donovan Wilson on 4 week IR and used that roster spot to temporarily keep another lineman. Our Oline is leaking badly, especially now that both of our starting Guards might not play but be replaced by inexperienced undrafted Olinemen and a journeyman veteran lineman with bad knees. Let's see if Mike Solari made the right decision going short on Oline for the offense just to keep Dan Quinn happy having way too many DTs, DEs, CBs and Ss on defense.

Nah he needs to be able to practice and get into game shape. The IR designation makes it so that you can’t practice.

Him being ready week 3 or 4 is related to him being able to work his way back and get in game shape. Why wait for week 5 before he can practice, that would make it about week 7 before he’d be in shape.

That IR tag is the difference between a week 3 appearance and a week 7 appearance. He’s a starter and more important than a 3rd string OL.

Practice what? Donovan Wilson is still rehabbing his calf. Practice what? He already knows the defensive plays. Getting back up into shape can be done through rehab and sprints.

Load them up with PCP or something. Or at least Martin. He got paid, time to play through pain.

..dang, this is where Big Mike needs to shine Sunday afternoon.

NYG had stout DL. OL played well, without Tyler.

Hoping for the best.

What? He’s been practicing this week. You can’t assume he needs zero practice, that’s not the norm. If it was then players with tenure would never practice.

Zack Martin says hello. He missed all of training camp and preseason. Signed a week before Game 1. Only practiced during Week 1 for 2-3 days. Was ready to go for Game 1.
