Supposedly it was just a cramp.

The new RB is Marcel Shipp, formerly of the Arizona Cardinals and the University of Massachussetts.

I don't see a big trade for a RB as others are thinking will happen. I do think we will pick up someone cut from another roster. If we could pick up a guy like Kenton Keith that would be great. While we have some strength in numbers that will cause a cut on the DL, someone else will cut a back.

All we need to do is run it enough to be able to play action and bootleg. I still think over the next two weeks Gibbs will work to refine the running game.

So, did they put Fred Weary on IR, to make room for Shipp on 80 man roster. To sad to see Weary most likely gone. Wonder if Ahman Green will be the next IR casualty?

I don't think they would cut anyone for Shipp. He is a walking hospital ward himself. Looks like he has played 2-2 1/2 full years out of seven years of experience. Methinks he is TC fodder only.
