IR list and associated decisions

[Followthelegion]

As discussed on Kidhawks' injury report posts, Seahawks are looking extremely healthy. There are considerations of how Seattle manage their roster with regards to players returning from IR.
A fairly useful article from fieldgulls outlines the status:

Why the Seahawks can’t bring everyone back from injured reserve, even if they’re ready

At least one Seahawks player’s season is definitely over, even if they’re ready to play.

Essentially only 8 players can be added off IR in the regular season, and that increases to 10 when the playoffs start. Seattle have used up 2 slots already for Ouzts and Haynes; so we need to make choices from the remaining 9 players on IR (if their health returns to a good enough level), with a maximum of 8 slots left:

• RB George Holani - Eligible to return in Week 17
• WR Dareke Young (returned to practice)
• WR Tory Horton - Eligible to return in Week 16
• TE Eric Saubert - Eligible to return since Week 13
• OL Jalen Sundell - Eligible to return in Week 15
• DL Jarran Reed (returned to practice)
• LB Chazz Surratt - Eligible to return in Week 17
• S Julian Love (returned to practice)
• DL Rylie Mills (Non-Football Injury, returned to practice)

You also don't want to use up all your slots to early to accommodate injuries that could happen in the last few games of the regular season to an important player. The comment section thinks that Rylie is going to be red shirted when the 3 week period of practise ends, I would hope we elevate him as a potentially impactful rotational piece that could be very useful come January. Who do we think is the odd one out here / how management will handle the IR list over the closing weeks?

accidental premature posting

Chazz Surratt, because....who?

Chazz Surratt, because....who?

For anyone who may not know, he is a backup linebacker but is used mostly in special teams. I can’t honestly critique him as a linebacker because the sample size I e seen is too small but he’s been a solid contributor on special teams

Definitely Love, Reed, Sundell and Horton for sure.

Yes 100% those 4 IF Horton recovers….

Depth is so important. And we have it on d. Offense not so much but does it matter when you’ve got a monster D ?

Detroit is cooked - for various reasons but one that stands out is lack of depth. Mike knows what he’s up to and I’m here for it.

Posted in the injury thread but goes here as well. Coach says both Love and Reed should get some playin go time this weekend. Still no official moves yet but they should be coming by tomorrow.

We have 2 roster spaces open tomorrow. I had thought they would be used for Reed and Young; but perhaps will be Reed and Love….

Young is listed as out for this game.

Regressed injury wise or simply roster management reasons?

Regressed injury wise or simply roster management reasons?

Assumption is roster management. He’s still got awhile before he has to be added to the active roster so I’m thinking that they just don’t want to have to make too many moves at one time.

 

[Followthelegion]

This would make sense. I think assuming no injuries over next two weeks that might fit the “IR with a return to the playoffs” bucket then he will get activated in next couple weeks.
