Does the practice squad travel with the team to away games? I don't see any reason they shouldn't, but at the same time this seems like a really rare situation where it would be important they did.

I guess with a London game you get there earlier and can actually use them in practice.

I am also assuming that after the london game they are just going to reverse this transaction and promote Ellerbee again. This is specifically for if Gordon can't go tomorrow.

This is the first thing I found on Google so may be totally wrong. But it says practice squad dudes can’t travel with the team.

I don't think a KC player laid him out on a cheap shot, taunted him while he was on the turf, and then reenacted it for a TD celebration, so they'll probably be fine.

I mean, maybe we tried to keep him and he didn’t want to stay, but it’s at least equally likely they thought he sucked.
In the interests of full disclosure, I thought he did too because he was hurt a lot.

He might win it, he's been outstanding. Lots of people made fun of the Browns for their top two picks but Ward is outstanding and Mayfield looks like he could be the real deal

So, congrats Browns, hope you don't gently caress this up

Is that a Browns helmet at #4? Between Garrett, Ward, that dude, and a couple others I'm excited about the Browns Defense. Hopefully we can add one or two more good pieces next year and make this a juggernaut.

You're right but avoiding injury could be a skill. If you tackle well, are careful with how you plant your feet, avoid contact however you have to etc. etc.

In baseball, health is generally considered a skill/attribute whatever you want to call it. Maybe it's more applicable in a game where you play a million games a season.

Whatever health is in the context of football, if it's a skill or an ability it's clear bradford never had it.

I don't know if it translates directly, because I never played football, but I did skateboard and some of these people who play football have no idea how to fall.
Tyler Eifert in particular always seems to contort his body and try and catch himself with his wrists. The play back in 2014 where he dislocated his elbow against the Ravens in particular was just him being an idiot and trying to catch himself with one arm falling probably 8 feet. Of course you're going to hurt yourself doing that.

Pretty sure it had to do with our immense amount of dead cap and his asking price. I think through the first 12 games or something, it was shown when he did play we won. He did have a fair number of injuries but he was definitely good.

Freak injuries happen in football all the time but generally speaking, players who know how to ball AND avoid dumb injuries have better careers.

Bradford was a QB and knowing when to get rid of the drat ball is absolutely a skill.
