Ravens placed DT Kelly Talavou (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.

Uh... did anyone else hear about this injury? Anyway it's probably a blessing in disguise because it allows us to retain Talavou (who has a lot of talent IMO) while also freeing a roster spot (for when we trade for Revis.... j/k).

I think he walked off the field prematurely during the Rams game, but at that time we didn't know why. I guess this is the reason.

I think this is likely a case of us stashing a guy who has alot of upside but also plays at a position that we are stacked at.

Phew, good thing I passed on him with the 53 man roster contest.

IDK how anyone will win considering the Barnes trade, maybe someone who forgot he was on the team? lol

And hopefully Talavou's injury isn't too serious but honestly I think he would've made the roster over McKinney and Divens and that this is not a fabricated injury.

I'd have thought so to but wouldn't we have realised that it was a season ending injury before the cut deadline?

If no one got the roster exactly right (which is unlikely at this point), I'm pretty sure the rules stated that the winner will be whoever came closest. If more than one person tie, it comes down to who submitted their roster the earliest.

And you are correct, sir!

That's a shame, it's hard to find guys at 350lb who are in good shape.

[yakraven]

I had him on my 53 man roster lol
Isn't he also related to Ngata?

and yes I have no doubt that he'd have easily beat out McKinney and Divens for a spot
