Hmm... No Kumerow.

when you pick up a PS player they must go on the main roster.

He wasn't on their Practice Squad. He was cut from the Packers and cleared waivers.

Like mentioned a few posts ago, it's purely because of COVID protocols.

 

[Rowley Birkin]

More surprised Vosean Joseph didnt even make the PS

Joseph was an earlier cut so its not completely surprising... Andre Smith was more likely to make the PS IMO.

Can someone explain the deal with Kumerow? It was reported that he was being signed to the Bills PS NOT the main roster.

Also - what's the deal with Marlowe / Roberts? I had both of these guys as locks for the main roster to be honest.

Only 8 DBs seem light. I guess McKenzie can handle return duties in place of Roberts.

Roberts and Marlowe are expected to sign with the main roster after Feliciano and someone else are put on IR. They had to wait until after the final 53 to IR people or they are lost for the year (like DiMarco). This year there is a much briefer IR rule so it is of great benefit to utilize it.

Who else is going on IR/PUP along with Feliciano?

Also won't that mean whoever goes on will miss the first 8 games regardless of their health?

NFL roster rules are unneccisarily complicated...

We're not sure who else.

New COVID rules allow multiple players (don't recall if there is a limit to the number, but I don't think there is one) to go on IR for a minimum of 3 weeks, instead of 8 or the whole year.

And there is the answer.

Again, both of those players can return Week 4 if they are healthy.

Pat DiMarco was placed on IR before the 53-man roster cutdown day and is out for the season.



And those players on the short-term IR do not count towards the roster while in IR.

Having our top 6 receivers with numbers starting with 1 feels unnatural.

#11 - Cole Beasley
#13 - Gabe Davis
#14 - Stefon Diggs
#15 - John Brown
#18 - Andre Roberts
#19 - Isaiah McKenzie

Then there is Isaiah Hodgins with #87.

I just like having 6 wide receivers I can feel confident in (don't overally trust Roberts as a wide out, although he had a TD last year).

I liked having more WRs in the league wearing jersey numbers in the 80s. Seems weird seeing tons of guys across the league wearing what once were more commonly QB numbers these days.

Big contract for an over 30 DLine jeez, wonder how much is guaranteed

Bills host three kickers for tryouts

Here's the Bills Vince Taylor replacement. Slayton is in the same boat as Kumerow. He won't appear on the roster/ps until he goes through the Covid protocol.
Bills build their initial practice squad; more moves likely to follow
Slayton, listed at 6-4 and 309, is returning to upstate New York after his college career at Syracuse. He was a seventh-round pick in 2019 who spent most of the season on the practice squad. He was promoted to the active roster for the regular season finale.

To be fair it looks like a lot of teams are doing this.

Pats have even gone with 2 kickers on the PS / no kicker on the roster route.

the op said he was a ps player, and I didn’t really care to check

Best pic ever

Which OP? The one you replied to was responding to him not being on the Bills practice squad.

 

[Rowley Birkin]

Not that it really matters - but if you're referring to my OP - I didn't say he was a PS player. At that point yesterday nobody had any PS players - all teams were still in the process of adding them.

He was one of the more high profile roster cuts in the league & Packers fans love him. Probably more likely their equivalent of Duke Williams but he did look OK in flashes I saw last year & I think it's an interesting add.

Bills hosting Lamar Miller.

Another big time cut from last week. Hopefully this means the end for Yeldon.

He's more than a Duke Williams. He's got potential. The Packers GM is an idiot. (Not due to the cut but everything he does)

Kumerow is 28 years old....

We simulated the entire 2020 NFL season: Scores and storylines for all 269 games

This is interesting. Not only who they have us beating but also who they have us losing to. Oh and they have us winning a first round playoff game.

Oh, and they have the Cowboys reaching to Super Bowl, so I’m taking these predictions with a huge grain of salt.

Nah. Miller and Yeldon are 2 different RBs. Yeldon is primarily a 3rd down back. Miller is primarily a 1st-and-2nd down back but he's not terrible catching the ball.

He'd be insurance should Singletary or Moss go down.

I don't think there is room for another RB on the roster.

I also get the impression they are pleasantly surprised with both Moss & Singletary as pass catching options.

I feel like Yeldon is pretty much redundant TBH. So although they are not the same player I could see him being cut in favour of Miller.
