Lalos Not Done Yet

A headline out of New Orleans: Saints bring fan-favorite DE Niko Lalos back to practice squad. Find the story HERE.

Exactly how the NFL roster management works is a bit of a mystery as a note about Matt Kaskey reminds us (LINK):

The Chargers waived Kaskey (undisclosed) with an injury designation Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Kaskey will presumably clear waivers and revert to the Chargers' injured reserve. If that's the case, he'll be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign, barring an injury settlement.

The NFL will begins the season with nine Ivy Leaguers on active rosters. The list (LINK):

• LB Foye Oluokun (Yale), Jaguars

• FB Kyle  Juszczyk (Harvard), 49ers

• WR Justin Watson (Penn), Chiefs

• WR Andre Iosivas (Princeton), Bengals

• TE Jesper Horsted (Princeton), Raiders

• LB Michael Hoecht (Brown), Rams

• S Rodney Thomas II (Yale), Colts

• OL Greg Van Roten (Penn), Raiders

• LS Tyler Ott (Harvard), Ravens

From a story headlined, Syracuse Football Preview: Defensive Backs comes this (LINK):


With the departure of Deuce Chestnut, Johnson could play a significant role as SU’s first option for a lockdown corner. The red shirt sophomore has a height, length and speed combo that opens him up to playing all over the field.

EXTRA POINT

Stopped for a soft drink on the way home from practice yesterday and parked behind a car that had stickers near each tail light letting me know there was a baby on board and I should "keep distance."


Thank goodness for those stickers because I really was thinking about ramming my car into the thing. ;-)
