DT Williams on IR

No surprise.

Also released: Swain, Knox, Wilkins, Ashford, Konz, Lintz, Martin Parker and Nelson.

Have fun redshirting, Paul Hogan.

Yeah, Seahawks just announced Jesse Williams is on IR. Won't play this season.

Ugh.

Yolo

I'm actually glad for him. McDaniels showed us we don't need to rush back YOLO too soon, and I'd rather Williams get his knee right by building strength in his legs before he gets shoved back on the field.

Yep, agreed.

Man, the Dolphins seriously have KILLER depth across their Dline. McDaniel was their Clinton McDonald, and dude's just a baller for us.

No sarcasm, the fins line is scary.

I'm surprised we went ir and not pup. His knee may be worse that I thought.

At this point, Williams has a good shot to never play a meaningful Nfl snap. And that bums me out.

Bummer about Williams. Good point about PUPing him, but he might not have been worth a darn late in the season anyway. Better to get him back healthy and learn a few things in training camp next year before being thrown against NFL offensive lines.

He was advertised as a project with high upside. Still worth the 5th round pick. Lets see what a year of rehab with the training staff does for the guy.

They probably want to redshirt him, which is why they went IR instead of PUP. He really didn't show anything during pre-season that suggested he'd have won a roster spot outright. IR makes sense. Doesn't necessarily mean doom and gloom for his knee.

Yep, redshirt, get healthy, see you next season!

Good move, the guy just wasn't healthy. This is an opportunity to spend a year learning the game and rehabbing his knee, guaranteeing he will be at camp for us next year, rather than releasing him outright.

Tha Monstar has corpse knee

This was the best move for him. Allows him a full year to try and get those knees healthy. He did not look right out there.

You cannot go PUP once the guy has participated in training. You can go PUP if they get injured prior to which is what happened with Percy Harvin.

If they get injuried during training camp then you can either put them on IR for the season or you can select ONE player that gets IR but designated for return after being out for a minimum of 6 weeks.

So with drafted rookies you want them in training camp and then IR them for the season vs not getting them the experience in training camp. You want to save the IR with return for an injury to a key player that you think will come back during the season (could get injured during the season for this designation).

SO PUP was not an option.

Strange that Tharold Simon didn't get placed on IR.

Good move, but sad we won't see the Monstar for a year. Hope he gets those knees healthy.

They got to 75 without having too. We'll see what happens next week.

I'm glad for Williams. He has a ton of upside if he just focuses on getting his knee completely healed, gets quality training to strengthen his legs and core and next year learns more technique to engage and win NFL O-Line battles.

I really have a lot of hope for him.
