GrimeyKidd Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) Falcons almost never announced all their injuries. I didnt read not one update about beau Edited August 7, 2015 by GrimeyKidd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I loved this guy coming out of college. Plays with power and flashy speed. Not a good back for Man Blocking in the NFL tho, but just what you're looking for in ZBS. Could retain a spot on the squad even when Coleman and Freeman returnhttp://www.nfldraftscout.com/ratings/dsprofile.php?pyid=89570&draftyear=2013&genpos=RB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 One thing is for sure - Quinn just dont hang on to players if they are not working out. He continues to churn the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romfal Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 worth mentioning that after 24h, Waived/injured players revert to our IR if no one claims them, so Gardners injury might be somewhat serious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoundBred Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Where did McGee go? He went undrafted this yr out of LSU, hits the hole hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Wonder if this means Gardner's injury was serious or whether he was going to be cut anyway when we trimmed to 70 and it made sense to give somebody else a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knight of God Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 worth mentioning that after 24h, Waived/injured players revert to our IR if no one claims them, so Gardners injury might be somewhat serious. I think so. I am very happy at how serious they are taking the run game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
