Twitter: TE Sean McKeon out at least 4-6 weeks with high ankle sprain

[quickccc]

Sprinkle wouldn't have made the team if McKeon didn't get hurt. But since Jarwin is just starting to get into full practice and Schultz has a more minor ankle sprain, he's the in-house veteran insurance policy now. As soon as McKeon is healthy I think Sprinkle is gone.

it depends upon how many TEs the team prefer to keep on the 53 roster ,,, it has always been four TEs
also Jarwin isn't the most durable dependant around, and we have to be prepared when he has the usual nicks ..

 

[quickccc]

Who said we’re only keeping 3? I didn’t.

why are u so defensive,..it's not an allegation.
i'm just saying keeping just 3 TEs -especially when one is still in a recovery mode seems too risky..

They use to keep only 3 TEs, but did keep 4 last year because of McKeon. If a FB is kept I would think they only keep 3.

I like Blake Bell.

Wish they would have kept him!

 

[blueblood70]

its unfortunate for him but really how many snaps does 3rd TE get here..go back and look at be;ls snaps..not sure it will matter much unless jarwin and or shultz gets hurt..maybe keep 2 tes go long on wrs or a FB until he comes back....

..dont think he makes the squad now. Probably put on PS.

 

[CalPolyTechnique]

was he going to make this team?

Was he going to make the team?

Joe, we were building the team around McKeon.

Haven’t heard one thing positive or negative about Sprinkle all camp and I’m all over those tweets and recap shows.

Same here. To be fair I don’t think the 4th TE gets many snaps.

with mckeons injury. Sprinkle is going to get his chance to win back the job.

 

[HungryLion]

I hope they keep him over Sprinkle anyway. Younger with upside and under contract longer as you said.

Agreed. Sprinkle would
Really have to outplay him significantly to make it worthwhile to get rid of Mckeon for him.

Escobar is a better receiver.

Galvin Escobar hasn't caught an NFL pass since 2016 -his last season with the Cowboys.

Yes, I know.

I had high hopes for that Jayson Whitten kid.....

 

[Big D]

I'd like to see what sprinkle can do.

You must think your purpose here is to make smart arse comments because you're very good at it.

He will definitely go on IR and so will Gallimore and both will be back after 3 games.

The high ankle sprain to a rookie that was borderline with making the team......they will now stash him on IR and wouldn't doubt if it was for the whole season. That's the move they make they love to make with a guy like that.

 

[McKDaddy]

Keep Sprinkle (spray with Lysol to cover Commander stench) on the 53 and put McKeon on IR scheduled to return.

In two months, McKeon returns and Sprinkle is returned to sender.

that's why i don't worry about roster projections. reality makes decisions for you. you know players are going to get injured and if you wanna keep them it's a no brainer to IR them.

He is in his second year. He was almost certain for the 53. Reporters were saying he was lighting up camp. If not for Schultz he would be the #2

on the broadcast last night, they said he was the best blocking TE on the team & they felt the team was going to carry 4 TE's before McKeon's injury.

I believe that’s what they should do.

Schultz is likely gone next year and McKeon will be entering his 3rd season. He will be ready to backup Jarwin.

Sprinkles blocking is a huge plus. Buts he limited everywhere else I’ve read
