On the field, even better news

 

[dougb123]

If he gets to 95-100% and starts playing who the best CB on this team with Byron Jones with what we have behind them this secondary could be extremely good, best in the league good.

I think this is normal churning of the last few roster spots as well as responding to injuries.

Just going to add this here, potential roster transaction if they like him.
