Adams activated

What? We had an extra spot for an import to replace Bighill. Why would we take Randolph off when that would only give us 1 extra OL?

Maybe Vanterpool will be activated for the game.

Maybe Wallace coming off the IR?

Can't see it. Wallace not even doing drills yet, never mind contact.

I like that Adams has been activated. Adds some speed to our DL.

Maybe they're thinking of using Schmekel/Fatboi on short yardage/emergency replacement. I don't recall seeing Randoplh on many snaps last game other than his procedure penalty.

But he went from a starting RG to starting LT to back to the PR. The seems like a good reason to keep him on the AR instead of a Canadian DL is an emergency back up. Randolph must have also been used in a 6 OL set or did Eli get that role last week?

Either way, it still leaves us with an open spot for another import on the AR. If Whitehead is still not 100% they could add Case for more depth. That would ask why not just replace that role to Case if Whitehead is iffy. I know he hasn't practised much for a couple of weeks.

Cole was limited today so he probably doesn't get added. That's what I was expecting but Adams make sense as well.

Cole was practicing. So that means he will be moving from the 6 game to either the 1 game or onto the game roster.

Eli got a lot of snaps last game. I noticed they had him in jumbo and lined up as a full back

He was for the last 2 weeks but earlier info in the string said he was " limited " today. I'm not sure what happened or whether that will exclude him.

Then we got the news that Adams was added to the AR. So Cole could be extended, moved to 1 game or still added to AR this week.

Seems like a pending issue until Friday.

Either was, Randolph played well when he started and for most of the season we rostered 7 OL.

I was at practice for a bit. Didn't see Cole get any snaps with the 1st team D...I think Pigskin also reported that Cole was limited...that's what I observed as well...

Cole might have had a "limited" role with the starters but that doesn't mean he isn't fit to play if needed.

Yes, he did a few drills and then not much after that. Usually, he's on the punts coverage team. Not today.

Fair...it's also the first practise day of the week...so still a chance he draws in...

I noticed a huge man in the backfield a couple of times, strange to use Eli as FB when MCI was dressed. Wonder if MCI is going to become one of these FB's that never touch the ball, I was hoping for more.
