I'm not an attorney, but it wants u to practice but understands if u can't and says "simulated contact activity will suffice to satisfy this." Ha ha. So that means u don't have to actually practice?

Sounds like language to safeguard from future pandemic and/or weather or travel related issues. Gotta have that language in there even if 99% of the time it won't come up.

You know, thats gotta be it. I just envisoned team premade memos that says "Dear NFL. We have simulated contact activity and player x is good to go." For the record. This is the first time I have actually looked at the specifics. It's always been dude is cleared or not cleared not so much the path

Just a point of information
The new post-Tua protocol was agreed upon between the league and the NFLPA October 1, 2022. The link and verbiage quoted upthread was published by the NFL October 8, 2022.

When Herbert comes back we are right back where we started. Ha ha
I give Foreman one more week. If R. Johnson back he's sprinkled in just to be prudent with somebody coming off a 2+ weeks concussion situation.
Then probably both are useless @NO the next week and then all bets off the following week vs CAR (and whoever gets those touches is going to eat against that run D).

You can correct me if I'm wrong, but it's the longest concussion protocol that I can remember. Was he in UFC294?
rockaction
Footballguy
It's a long protocol, but the NFL has been long with their protocol this year. I don't think there's been a guy who has been officially deemed to have had one that has played the next week. This one is extra long, though. Don't lead with your head, Roschon.

(Rotowire) Johnson said Thursday that he cleared the concussion protocol and is ready to play in Sunday's road game against the Chargers, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports. Analysis: Players in the protocol for head injuries aren't permitted to speak to the media, so Johnson's comments more or less pave the way for him to put an end to a two-game absence. His upcoming role is in some question, though, after D'Onta Foreman reeled off 187 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns over the last two games with Khalil Herbert (ankle, IR) sidelined. In five games this season, Johnson is averaging 4.9 yards on his 25 carries, has hauled in 11 of 12 targets for 58 yards and scored one rushing TD.

Any word around the campfire on his predicted split with Foreman tonight?
Haven't seen a thing.

I would guess Foreman earned a sizable role last week. Roschon will get ~25% (15-35% range) of RB opportunities today, and hopefully makes the most of it.
rockaction
Footballguy
Not really, and I've been looking. Laudatory words from the RB coach about Foreman and the energy of the team when he was in there. He seemed to allude to a decent workload, but who knows? If I had to read the tea leaves, I'd say Foreman gets at least ten-plus touches tonight before it gets out of control.
barackdhouse
Footballguy
But... it's going to get out of control in the 1st quarter/2nd at the latest lol. So the real question is who gets the targets. Might still be Foreman.
Sunday Gravy
Footballguy
Why? The Chargers suck.
That seems to be the conventional wisdom.
Unfortunately, the LAC seem to always play down to the level of the competition. Wouldn't be surprised if CHI covers.
rockaction
Footballguy
Ugh. My nightmare is having LAC jump out quickly and Roschon gets all the targets from the 2nd on.
I have Demercado stashed just for this reason, but I can't bring myself to do that.
Miles Sanders, Emari Demercado, Darrell Henderson, and D'Onta Foreman with Roschon. My waiver wire maneuvers have proved savvy and weirdly timely (I had Demercado stashed for a while now, and right before Conner got hurt, so I wasn't wasting a roster spot), but my backs are all up in the air besides Breece Hall.
Okay, enough about that fantasy team. Let's move on. Foreman to the moon tonight!

I’ve got him in just now in my flex due to Montgomery being injured and me forgetting to put Godwin in instead on Thursday. Not feeling great about it, this concussion has been a kick in the balls for those of us that took him in dynasty or have been stashing him on the bench in redraft since tue draft

Agree-- Probably droppable in redraft

I don't know what happened. Roshon last night was a different RB than Weeks 1-3. Those weeks he ran hard, looks decisive and was a nice sparkplug.
Last night he looked like a third string RB. No explosion and every time he caught the ball he would stop and survey the field trying to hit a homerun vs getting the yards in front of him.

Best scenario Is he Javante Williams light?
barackdhouse
Footballguy
Yeah he stopped to dance around too much. Could have got some bigger yardage for sure.
He looked worse than that box score shows.
Don't think it matters. Herbert will get the job back. Foreman has also looked better than him the past two weeks.
I'm sure after you spend a couple weeks out due to a concussion you may not have quite the same willingness to run into a pile of huge men.

All I know is he got stuffed on 4th and 1 and it was 100% on him for dancing around versus plowing straight ahead.
Sadly Foreman would have gotten that first down.
I know, it’s only one play, but that play to me was enough to realize the coaches are gonna go with Foreman until Herbert comes back.
My $0.02 worth a penny

When is Herbert scheduled to be back, does anyone know?
zamboni
Footballguy
This week will be his 4th week on IR, so he'll be eligible to return for week 10. They play on Thursday though in week 10, so I don't give a high percentage chance he'll be back then.
titusbramble

From a dynasty perspective, is he looking better or worse than expected (think I've watched ~0 Bears snaps this season)? I'm contemplating making a move for him with my season looking lost, just not wanting an initial offer to be an overpay
rockaction
Footballguy
I'd lean this way, but he hasn't really been given the reins to a game yet. That's the truer test. But in limited carries, he hasn't looked overwhelming. I think he stutter steps too much and doesn't go downhill quickly enough.
zamboni
Footballguy
Agreed - it's early in his career, but Roschon hasn't seemed to show much outside of a few big boy runs in the first few weeks. Herbert is one of the more underrated efficient RBs in the league, so Roschon probably needs to show something in the next several weeks to avoid just cementing his role as a clear backup.

Weird he never hit the portal to be a big fish & improve his draft stock
Does that give us any insight into his personality?
IDK no way to tell, but some folks don’t mind being a pack dog
I learned early in life if you ain’t the lead dog the view never changes

Absolutely not. Instead, Steve Sarkisian said there was a "shift" at Texas that coincided with his leadership on the team. I haven't read an article that doesn't laud the virtuousness of the young man. Unfortunately, virtue isn't that big of a commodity if you constantly dance before hitting holes.

I liked his college tape a lot
his early NFL tape (x season & first few games were great)
looks tentative now + not sure about that OL + crowded RB room on a bad team
gonna move on
EDIT - for the NIML crew, I mean in redraft
Dont think it was football related. I read something about HR being involved.
