WR Merritt elevated from practice squad for the game against the Cards. I was really hoping to see what Calloway has. I was excited for his suspension to be complete and getting him on the field. I’m assuming he needs another week of practice... maybe not in game shape or maybe need to learn the offense a little more before getting inserted. I’m a little disappointed but hopefully next week will be his week.

Merritt has been practicing all year, most likely with Tua when Fitz was starting. Callaway, on the other hand, was not even allowed to practice while he was suspended. Callaway may be better in the long run, but as of today... it looks like he hasn't caught up yet.

Just a guess...

Probably not in football shape, so they went with the next best option. :ffic:
 
I think Calloway was recovering from an injury this offseason. Maybe that’s why he’s not in game shape yet
 
Hope he’s better than the YouTube video I saw of him.

Shoulda kept Ford

Ford isn't really a slot receiver and by carrying him, we were blocking young players who may be worth developing.

I like Ford, but as a backup flanker/back up slot. So while I hated to see him go, let's be serious for a moment, he's (at best) a 4th WR on any team, and we are expected to draft at least one WR next year.
We may lose a few receptions this year by not keeping him, but long term... we can and should do better.
 
I don’t know how much PT he will get, but he might be ideal for a screen or 2
