Colin Cole placed on IR, sign Marviel Underwood
I was putting this post together when you beat me to the submit:
JSOnline reports:
Safety Marviel Underwood is back. Cut in training camp this year after trying to come back from ACL surgery, Underwood was back on the field. While it's not known whether he was signed to the practice squad or active roster, it appeared that he's on the active roster because he got reps with the starting special teams units here and there. Underwood's signing may be an indication that Aaron Rouse's knee injury is worse than has been let on.
WOW! I sure didn't see this coming.
Good for Marviel, and yes, Colin Cole was placed on the IR this afternoon.
Also, safety Aaron Rouse said he was "fine" despite not doing anything at practice. Not sure if I believe him. We'll see on Monday...
If Underwood is fully recovered (which I assume he is or we wouldn't see this move) he adds talent and experience to a position we are young and banged up at.
Healthy, he is an immediate upgrade from Charlie Peprah, who is a great special teams player.
In other news:
Collins completed practice with the starters on Sunday. Bubba Franks and Will Blackmon practiced and looked back as well.
