Keyvon Seymour as a Possibility to Return From IR?

I will say first off, I don't know if there has been talks in the building about it, or about his health with whatever was wrong with his shoulder, but as we talk and see threads about the return of Matt Kalil and Daryl Williams (which Admittedly won't happen due to his surgery), I got to thinking and looked back at our IR list and got to wondering about him.

Before you snap at the idea of bringing him in because he was terrible, I agree that he's not great, but hear me out.  Right now We struggle mightily at the bottom of the roster for dept at Corner.  Corn isn't getting a jersey on gamedays which I personally think is a travesty, but we need to have more than 3 corners active on Sundays and would not be upset having more than 4 on our active 53.  I also would ONLY want him as depth, as someone that can come in and give one of our corners a break because it seems they're getting winded by the 4th quarter having NO relief.

One other point, players designated to return have to wait 8 weeks before they return, and presuming Matt Kalil is one, we have 1 free one available.  Also presumably any injury we have right now would be rusty and coming back from injury for a playoff game from this point forward making it all but pointless to hold onto these designations going forward.

So, IF his injury allows, should we consider bringing him back to provide us some extra secondary depth for the stretch run?

I still can't believe we were geared to go into the season with him as a starter.

Agreed, I'm so glad Donte took that bull by the horns.  FWIW, this wouldn't be even a discussion if Cockrell hadn't gotten injured.  He looked pretty good in preseason.  Imagine a decent #2 in cockrell and Donte blanketing everything that moves in the slot.

Outside of Kalil and Darryl Williams (who pretty much everyone says is not coming back this year) there's not exactly a lot to write home about on IR right now.

Fans of Elijah Hood may flame me for that statement but I'd counter that 1) we don't know how he's doing in rehab and 2) if we're only going to use CJ Anderson sparingly, what would it benefit to bring up another runningback?

I wouldn't write home about Kalil. Or maybe I would, but mom wouldn't like what I had to say

We put Seymour on IR right before final 53 cuts. Therefore, he is not a candidate to come back. 

This is correct. I think there are only 4 players eligible to come off IR this season.  Kalil this week, Williams next week, Searcy the week after, and Norris sometime in December.

      Little worried about Jarvy Shoulder and that torn cuff, it's needed surgery for 2 years now and he's gonna play with it injured again next season.    I like the toughness but would definitely prefer it to be fixed. He's an intritical player on the team going forward.    Also I was high on pain pills last time I wrote about saving cap space but I didn't go into detail cause I wouldn't have been able to do so. "still on a ton of pain medication but not as nearly as many, think I'm down to 23 pills a day from 32 a few days ago, 18 of them are for pain management in some form or another."     But I digress let's get to the point I was trying to make in my last post about saving, I'll now use Jarvis as an example.    Let's say the canes spend 23m of the 28m in space they have available. Then have Jarvis get surgery and put him on LTIR at the start of the regular season.  You let the cap space sit til the trade deadline. At the deadline that cap space would have accural on it and the team can use that space and spend 24m on incoming salary for the rest of the season. Let's say they bring in 5 players and send out two. "player A has an 8m AAV contract" he'd cost Carolina 4m the rest of the season. Player B makes 10 "cost of 5. So forth and so forth.  Using that accural system and the Jarvis LTIR, the Canes could then go into the playoffs with a healthy Jarvis and be 19m over the cap legally for a cup run. The more cap space available at the start of the season, the larger the accural would be at the trade deadline.    That was the first part of what I was going to try and articulate the other day but I'm on 35mg of oxy every 6 hours plus ketorolac and two other pain pills and another for kidney spasms.    Have a wonderful night everyone

      Will history repeat itself and Carolina make it to NFCCG this year?
