Neville Hewitt signed?

[Travis34]

Just announced that he was signed to the practice squad after he passed his physical today.

I'm surprised he was eligible.

It's a solid signing for weak side LB insurance

Always liked Hewitt as a backup. I like him significantly more than Hull. I think I'm more intrigued by Chase Allen though.

On the flip side.....Anthony sure is racking up those inactives. This team sure has a knack for bringing in guys who aren't ready to even get on the field for a while.

I'd be ticked if we cut Allen

Hewitt was signed to the practice squad, not the 53 man roster.

I like Neville in a backup role. However, Chase Allen may be passing him by. Allen has size, speed, and motor.

Chase Allen plays Strong side...Hewitt would be a Weak side linebacker. Allen is Timmons' backup where Hewitt would be Alonso's backup. Maualuga seems to have taken over at MLB and Hull is his backup.

Hewitt probably won't be on the practice squad long cause we really don't have a good WLB to backup Alonso.

Hey Maluaga was inactive for the first 4 weeks but looked good against the Titans. It's a long season so we'll probably see Anthony eventually. Also glad Hewitt is back.

Was surprised he was cut after all the accolades this preseason.

Obviously just injury related and I'm stoked he's back.

LB Trevor Reilly was released from the practice squad to make room for Hewitt
