Totally agree. It's not like he had a serious, season-ending injury. I get that they wanted to hold onto that IR-to-Return card as long as they could in case a critical player went down, but could they have not just held a roster spot open for him? I mean, I'm sure there have been players who have been inactive or have not played a snap all season, and do they really need a 3rd-to-5th backup at DL, LB, S, OL, TE that they couldn't find a waiver wire pick up if need be? It's much easier finding serviceable players (backups) at those position on waivers than a QB. It was a highly questionable move back then, which looks even worse now.
