Craig James comes off the practice squad to take his roster spot.

I wonder if this is it for him in purple: counts $5.45 against the cap and if they cut him, no dead money.

I don't think Rhodes hammy is serious, but it might be one game out type of thing.

Not sure on how serious, but maybe practice bodies.  Hopefully Rhodes can heal up and stay healthy the rest of the year.  He isn't playing lock down like last year, but he certainly is valuable to our D.

I put no stock in what that tv doctor said, but even less stock in what Zimmer says about injuries. That hammy injury looked pretty serious to me.

Yep, can't argue with that.

this may have more to do with the emergence of Anthony Harris than anything else.  If they are comfortable with Harris as a starter they can afford to put Sendejo on IR. I think its most likely that a decision has been made about their respective futures with the team. Vikes save $5.5M.

Wow, wicked obscure reference there, Clobimon. Man from Snowy River? Kept thinking what does hockey have to do with horse riding? At any rate, I hear Craig James I think SMU RB who shared backfield with Eric Dickerson.

I'd be super fine with that.  Some people like him and some defend him but I've been waiting for his replacement since '13 when they began starting him.  He's been my least favorite player (on the field) for year and it doesn't bother me to say it.  Even when playing his best I've still considered him as just "barely adequate."  He's typically a step slow, late to prevent plays, tackles without his arms because he thinks he can smash guys, which usually looks ridiculous because he bounces off and seems to take the worst of his own hits.  He doesn't produce turnovers unless the qb throws an awful pass.  Every year the top safeties usually provide 6-8 interceptions while he's had 6 total in over six years of starting.  Yes this is a slam post, but g-dangit, they've been starting sometimes adequate for so long with hardly an attempt to find an elite or upper echelon guy for the position!

I have defended Sendejo.  I think he got a bad rap quite often.  But I am very happy Harris has proven to be an upgrade.  I noted last year, I think it was the Rams game or maybe a different one, how nice it was to have a FS that was good in pass coverage.  Sendejo was better than most gave him credit for, but was certainly a position that needed an upgrade. Harris and Kearse are proving to be valuable players on D.  In fact, with those two, Weatherly and Hill getting significant snaps, that is pretty damn good return on late rounders or UDFAs.
