[ChrisPozz]

Dan Brown:

DeMarcus Dobbs, poised to make the roster as a situational defensive lineman and third tight end, arrived in the locker room with an undisclosed injury. Dobbs was seen on crutches with his lower left leg heavily wrapped.

There was no official update on receiver/returner Ted Ginn, who was sporting an orthopedic boot around his right ankle. Ginn sustained the injury while running a reverse against the Broncos. Coach Jim Harbaugh said after the game that X-rays were negative.

Seriously?!? A friggen orthopedic boot for Ginn because of THAT play!!??!! He got sneezed on for christsake!! Enough of his tin-man-injury-liability-ass! I'd cut/trade Ginn today!

As for Dobbs -Damn-it!!

agree on Dobbs, no question. PUP and out first six games?

but the Ginn play did seem bad, his ankle got pulled under and caught under his twisting weight.

I'm not sure what strategy we'll invoke for Dobbs - he made the 46 last season and he seems even more valuable this year - So, depending on what is going on we could put him on the PUP or just inactivate him week to week.

As for Ginn, I only saw the play the one or two times and it didn't look very serious to me but you could be right. I just have zero patience for athletes who "seem" to milk their injuries and I'm sensing that Ginn is becoming that type of athlete.

Is that Ginn rant for real, or sarcastic? Aren't you one of Ginn's bigger fans?

Not at all sarcastic. I love Ginn as a returner - and I like him as a WR, but if you can't stay healthy then what good are you? I see players getting hammered a helluva lot harder than what it looked like happened to Ginn yesterday and not winding up in an orthopedic boot for crying out loud.

Is Dobbs still considered a defensive Linemen or just a tight end?

Dobbs is now considered our ultimate two way threat. He's our secret weapon. Our season is doomed now.

 

[clyde_carbon]

Just cut Ginn and be done with it.

 

[CalamityX11]

Does Reuland now make the team as the 3rd TE?

I tend to agree.

 

[mem49er]

Does Reuland now make the team as the 3rd TE?

Depends on expected time out. I dunno anything about Dobbs's injury, but if he's due back in a few weeks, I wouldn't change my roster.

If they put him the PUP list, he misses the first six right? Does the PUP list count towards the 53?

No.

 

[CalamityX11]

No.

fantastic... it's settled then...lol

:loco:

Yea, but have they done that?

off the top of my head i don't believe so but an option nonetheless.

I just want to clear up some comments in this thread - including my own. It just occured to me we had a similar conversation in another thread and as I recall we cannot put Dobbs on the Reserve PUP List.

There are two designations of PUP List which can be referred to in several ways.

There is the "Active PUP List", sometimes referred to as the Training Camp PUP or Pre-Season PUP

There is the "Reserve PUP" List, sometimes referred to as the Regular Season PUP or Inactive PUP List

There is also a "Non-Injury" designation for both the Active or Reserve PUP Lists, however that designation carries contractual implications which have no bearing on this discussion.

The Active (Training Camp) PUP List is used for players who report to camp and are Physically Unable to Perform. In order to be eligible for this designation a player cannot practice even a single down.

The Reserve (Regular Season) PUP List is only for those players who were on the Active (Training Camp) PUP list - So Dobbs is not eligible for the Reserve (Regular Season) PUP List

Also, players who are placed on the Reserve (Regular Season) PUP List do not count toward the 53 man roster.

So, our only options for Dobbs are the following:

Release
IR
Inactivate

Nice summary, rep when I can. Probably be inactivate, IMO.
