Troy Freaking Andersen!

[iaafan]

Sounds like he’s expected to be available for the week 6 game (Oct 13) vs Buffalo. I think he starts practicing after game 4. They have a bye week 5.

Anybody know what's up with Troy? I did a search but not finding much.

He’s not ready. Practicing but not activated.

Just a reminder that Troy is still technically in the NFL. Stuck on the PUP/IR though. Maybe November will be different but coach makes it sound like that might even be a long shot.

"I know it's still off a bit," Morris said of Andersen's potential return. "We're just waiting for that process. Still on IR. Still going through the process. Not near the point of talking about him on a daily basis or whatever the case may be.

"So, we'll just have to wait and see."

I'm finally starting to come around and see just how impactful he is going to be at LB. He was disruptive yesterday, and his speed really shows when we scheme him properly. All that said, I can't be the only one that watched that pick six and thought..... dang, he needs to get the ball in his hands more!

Edit with an afterthought. Maybe he'll be the first player in the history of college football to score touchdowns on every single one of his INTs.

Thought I saw #44 out there on punt coverage. Did Troy get activated again?

No, as of Nov 5, HC Morris said "“Still on IR. Nothing new. Still there.”

When pressed on if there was a chance he could return this season, Morris said, “You never want to rule it out, but we'll have to just wait and see. Nothing new, no window activated, none of those things. Still working with our people and getting right, trying to get him right.”

Has anyone ever reported what his actual injury even is/was?

knee injury is all they have posted.

I think he's been declared as having season ending injury, although I can't find anything on his status. I believe the PUP has a mandatory 4-week inactive, but then there's a 21-day practice window when a player can be evaluated. If the player doesn't get activated at the end of the 21 days, then he's moved to season ending status.

They are paying out the remainder of the his contract to the tune of roughly $1.7M for this year. Not too shabby.
