Rumor: Poncey cleared to play by week 5

Interesting, seems like he should be placed on short term PUP and activated to full roster for Week 6.

Week 5 Bye Week

This would allow us to carry a extra O-line, but problem becomes if he is GAME READY Week 6 we need to have him practice with the team a couple weeks before which, if not mistaken..... short term PUP barrs him from practicing with the team until Week 6.
 
Wait, what? How could he be cleared by doctors and be ready week 5, and we know that now?

This doesn't make sense to me. Is he cleared to begin practicing? Do they ESTIMATE he will be ready by week 5?
 
Yeah that doesn't make any sense...

Lol could you imagine the coaches thinking it would take him 6-7 weeks to be in shape enough and have enough play book knowledge to play? Screw waiting that long!
 
I'm sure he is mentally ready. It's not like he hasn't had the chance to follow practice and go through the playbook. Getting into football shape without slowing recovery is probably another thing. I say wait until after the bye. Is rather a healthy 12 games vs a rushed 2 and injury.

We need to get him on the field as soon as he can play. The idea that we're 'just' playing Oakland in week 4 is silly to me.

We're 'just' playing Oakland at Wembley, where the field surface is notoriously ****ty for NFL football contests. We're going to need to run the ball there.
 
It just doesn't make any sense, he`s going to have to be cleared for practice, then its going to be day to day and just then they`ll clear him to play. The statement: Pouncey is cleared to play by week 5 is an estimation at best, and a very flexible one at that...

From what I understand, when the season starts a player has to be on the roster, on IR for the year or, one designated to come back in week #8 (I Think).
 
Pouncey is probably getting as many positive opinions as he can in order to remain off the PUP or IR.
