seems like a decent pickup. was originally a 3rd round pick, started 14 games for miami 2 seasons ago and started 11 games for the g-men last season.

good to get some experience in there while trevathan, kwiatkoski, and jonathan anderson are sidelined.

Not sure replacing a pass rusher with an inside run stuffer qualifies

concussion protocol from the bronco game. he sat out the practice at the high school last night and will likely be held out of tomorrow's game.
