If the team likes him, sees him as one of the top 4 safeties, then he should make the initial 53. If he'll miss more than 4 weeks, then put him on IR so you can bring him back when he's healthy.
Thanks for the tutorial. I get a little lost on some of the idiosyncracies of all those rules. Nicely explained.
I guess that's the gist of what concerns me.... I'm not sure if he had enough "moments" that would convince the brain trust that he's a better bet than Oladapo. They've had 2 full seasons and 3 training camps to evaluate Oladapo, and from all accounts, they seem to feel he was making good progress. They had 2 full seasons and 1 1/2 training camps to assess Brown (he was picked up in training camp 2024), but throughout the bulk of 2024, the team seems to have felt Oladapo was the better prospect.
Now, in the last couple weeks of this camp, Oladapo seems to have been doing well and showing growth, but Brown has been absolutely rockin' the Casbah. It sounds as though Brown has had the much better camp, but then again, Oladapo has been held in higher regard for most of their time here - so are the Packers going to see Brown's camp as an anomaly, or was it a breakout performance... is this actually who he has become?
Before the injury, Brown was the #4 safety on the depth chart (ahead of Oladapo). But I think Green Bay would have greatly preferred one more week of game tape to make their call.
However, I think that in the end, they're more likely to keep Brown as #4 and try to keep Olapadalo on the practice squad. My gut feeling is that of the two, Brown is more likely to get snatched off the PS.
. Kraft and Musgrave will be nightmares for defenses when they're both on the field at the same time...
