Practice squad

[mraynrand]

From his performance this summer, I'd say White is NFL ready. The problem with putting him on PS is some team will sign him as soon as injuries happen. I was impressed with his improvement. Some have posted that he is not a downfield burner, but he clearly is plenty quick.

Myles be nibble, Myles be quick, Myles jump over the candlestick.

nibble? Freudian slip?

After Dr. Andrews cleared him for football last week, former No. 1 overall pick Jake Long is set to work out Weds for Atlanta, per source.

New Packer tackle maybe?

If he can play, why would Atlanta let him leave?

Brett Favre?

I am not saying its doable, just that he is available.

Atlanta does need O line help. They were reshuffling last week. But you never know.

Sounds like White won't be put on the PS. Instead, they'll put Ed Williams there.

That makes 10

who-hoo! I picked him as a dark horse to actually make the squad, this is the next best thing!

What was Long's injury anyway?

[pbmax]

ACL tear I think. Problem is, recently, his body just seems to be one injury right after another. He is 30, so its not exactly the same as the Packers trusting Bulaga to regain his form.

[smuggler]

Long is done. Too many injuries. At one time he was a veritable HoF candidate...

A shame, but it happens to everyone eventually.

Can someone clear something up, please? I thought when the Packers signed Ed Williams instead of trying to re-sign Myles White (assuming he cleared waivers) that they already had their 10 practice squad players lined up. Now I heard about Robertson Daniel, CB from BYU. Was he on the original list of 10 and I missed it? Did they get rid of someone else to make room for Daniel? I was trying to find a story online, but only saw that he was signed, not that there was a player let go.

[Joemailman]

I think they originally had 8 of their own guys. Daniel was 9, and Williams was 10. I don't think they released anybody from the practice squad.

So my curiosity question then is, did they offer Myles White a spot on the practice squad? If they had just waited for White to clear waivers, they could have saved him a spot on the practice squad, unless he said forget that. They weren't likely going to add Williams and White because they were targeting Daniel and depth at his position of CB. It seems odd that you don't try to get the guy back on your practice squad if you gave him a spot on the 53. So, I have to figure that even if the Packers made the offer, he likely turned it down to open up the spot for Williams. It would seem odd to not try and sign back "one of your own".

Someone posted a link (Harlan I think) that White was looked for more than PS baseline pay to agree to PS.
