I think Teasley is trying to make a record for the most running backs signed to the team and then released within one week, lol.
My guess is a minor trade is upcoming for another RB.
This indicates that rookie Brett Thorson is ready to resume punting. https://t.co/2Rjw5RCJ3u

I mean, at some point you have to say that the team did not manage the RB roster appropriately. They decided to go with 3 RBs to start the season- Jones, Mason, and Claiborne. Did they really think Jones was going to make it through the whole season without being injured given his age and injury history? Maybe Scott was their fallback but he got poached early by the Bears.
The team is not comfortable with just Jones/Claiborne, I assume they wouldn’t be comfortable with just Mason/Claiborne. So they then cycle through RBs on the practice squad.
Now there are rumors of trading for a RB? How about just keeping an extra RB on the roster you can trust to get you through an injury to one of them? We have seen this cycle repeat itself in the past with KoC/KAM - ie. the trading for Cam Akers in multiple years.
Maybe they will try to survive with Jones/Claiborne and call up Austime for the NO game until Mason is back after the bye. It’s kind of baffling to me that they didn’t plan for this possibility a little better.

Could have had several RBs from the 25 RB class. Instead, we have a punt gunner.

Agree 100%. Scott clearly outplayed outplayed Clairborne in pre season and should have made the team over him, if not keep them both, which would have been justified with Jones injury history.
