I wonder whether they will IR him and then put him on the practice squad or whether they cut him with an injury settlement.

Presumably no one will claim him from waivers.

Yeah will be interesting. It won’t cost them much to keep him but considering how fast the cut has come I don’t think they see much potential there at all

At this point it mostly means he won't make their 53 man roster (which wasn't going to happen anyway).

He's injured so before he gets put on their injury reserve or practice squad they have to waive him (and give other teams a chance to sign him). Assuming he makes it through waivers they then can either put him on IR (and later sign him to their practice squad) or cut him completely with an injury settlement.

This dudes body is a serious issue.

He’s likely to have the NFL push sides to at least pick him up for the year because he’s part of a program. It costs the teams nothing. (Depending on the injury of course)

Timing wise if he chose to come back to Rugby it works fine for the start of next year but he’ll need a fair bit of conditioning to transition back. Especially given his injury rate.

Can’t see the NRL taking a swing on him tbh. Can’t see how he can get through 24 rounds.
