I guess they can elevate a WR off the PS and continue to let Ratley and Board get reps on the outside. Both have been fine so far. I wonder if there's any thought to giving Engram more reps split out wide. Would think with his size he'd be able to move the chains boxing defenders out.
The Giants signed center Javon Patterson to their practice squad. Patterson, 6-3 and 307 pounds, was a seventh-round draft choice out of Mississippi by Indianapolis in 2019. He spent the entire 2019 season on injured reserve with an ACL injury. Patterson was cut by the Colts on Sept. 5.

they can bring up WRs just for games as a backup. Given that it is three weeks, they could bring up one player for two weeks and a second player for one week and not make any changes to either the practice squad or 53 roster - if I have that right.
thought they would. It seemed obvious. WR is a real need in the offseason. I'd like them to bring back Coleman, but I'd be surprised if they do. It seems that ship has sailed.
They most definitely need to inject some bodies and some youth into this group but it was ignored during free agency and went in other directions in a deep draft. Maybe the idea was UDFA grabs weren't much different in their grades than the mid to later round guys?
A guy like Coleman looks great in camp (according to beat writers) and then is a surprise cut.
But then here we are, approaching week 3, and he hasnt been picked up by any other team in the NFL which leads me to believe that our coaches might know more than myself and the beat writers.
what exactly causes it? is it just repeatedly jamming the toe into turf over time? or is it a one time tackle type thing where the toe gets jammed?
It's caused by the toe being repeatedly stressed upwards. Such as when a Receiver pushes off at the start of a route or when planting and making cuts. It can also be caused by the foot moving within the shoe and jamming toes due to the stickiness of Turf

I'd agree w/you completely during any other year, but w/o pre-season games, access to practices, it's an absolute crap shoot for teams bringing in players from other teams. Our coaches may have been right, but either our writers(most of them have been w/the team for some time) don't know anything about football or there's at least something to be taken by their writings!

Exactly.
We fans tend to get more excited about some of these players than the league does. Coleman and Ross Cockrell are both currently unemployed......with expanded Practice Squads, there is no reason to believe the pre-season hype on guys like this at this point.

Who is #3 WR for this Sunday?
It should be Evan Engram. Enough with the failed tight end experience already.
The guy is $9 million against the cap this year and next
Still don't understand why Coleman was cut - he's got to be better than some of the other options we have but apparently the staff feels otherwise.
Wasn't Judge in NE the two weeks that Coleman was on their team? I think Judge might have some knowledge of the situation ... basically agreeing with you.
this coaching staff is demanding that you understand what they are teaching and that you work at it - if you are unable to respond and show you are grasping what they are teaching they do not suffer this lightly --
I'm sure this is why Connelly and Coleman were lower priorities in the scheme of things

There were rumors that this was the case with Coleman when he was in Cleveland. He was never able to really grasp the playbook and would make all kinds of route running mistakes.

so you think connelly has a learning disability too?
Sounds like roster fodder. Perhaps a better developmental prospect than Haycroft.
Javon Patterson NFL Draft 2019: Scouting Report for Indianapolis Colts' Pick - ( New Window )
Somebody suggested they do this in another thread. Whoever it was, Good call!
Ummmm
I am hoping that they bring back Corey Coleman. If they decide to promote a PS WR then Austin Mack is the most likely to contribute IMO.
Ummmm
guessing we see more of Engram split out wide.
WR and CB are huge needs for this team next year.

Has Coleman been claimed by another team?

We need at least 5 guys active on sundays though I think.
Does Judge think that?

Maybe for CB we should think about cluster drafting there? Maybe spend for a top FS also to round it out?
Oh wait...
For WR, we'll just have to wait for a draft that is deep at the position to address that.
Oh wait...
But, Giants will have to run the ball better to take full advantage of that speed.

we traded OBJ for Lawrence. xman is a JAG and peppers sucks at his actual position
Not that he's tearing it up for Cleveland, yet.
