Why isn't Shephard on the active roster?

Seahawks have signed QB Joel Stave to practice squad.
1:20 PM - 26 Oct 2016 from Renton, WA

Seahawks sure like X Vikings players.



Interestingly, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll referred to Minnesota "making a big move'' for an offensive lineman during his press conference.
1:41 PM - 26 Oct 2016

I have no clue...must have been referring to Austin Shepard

Did we move Heinecke to the practice squad or has that decision not been made yet?

We have 21 days from last Wednesday to decide what to do with Heinicke. But I figure he must be looking good or they wouldn't have let Stave go.

Thanks for the info. The link you provided didn't seem to be working so I fixed it. I hope you don't mind.

The decision to waive Pruitt is surprising.

Thanks for the fix Jim.
I was looking for them to move Beavers back to the practice squad.

That was the original plan but he's built a dam and he won't come out of his den.

Kinda surprised too.....but it must be tipping off 2 things. 1. that the powers that be must be satisfied with Ellisons health and 2. they are high on Morgan

Could also be that Shurmur doesn't utilize as many TE's.

Start him!

[halfgiz]

Start him!

Is the guy any good?


Source says the Jaguars tried to put tackle Rashod Hill, who is a Jacksonville native, on the 53-man but he decided #Vikings a better option

I'm not looking at it that way...

The way I see it, he can't be any worse than what they have, so...Start him!
