He'll likely be activated after the 8th game per the tweets unless I'm missing something. All they did was allow him to practice with the team instead of in solo drills.
Really looking forward to seeing what this big guy brings to this defense and how it helps AD. The biggest impact will be the run game but I'm hoping he is able to eat up enough space to free up AD a bit more in passing game like Suh used to. Hopefully we won't have any new injuries and that Seattle game will have us almost at full strength again with return of Fuller. Obo probably a bit farther than that.
Yup this isn't activation this is allowing him to practice with the team. It's the first step towards activation for sure though.As of the day he is activated to begin practicing the Rams have 21 days to put him on the active roster or IR. So whenever they deem him ready he can play. So would depend on what kind of shape he is in I'd guess.
If the player returns to practice, the team has three weeks to decide to place him on the active roster or on the injured reserve list.
Edit: Sorry just saw that they have to miss 6 weeks of practice AND 8 games if on NFI so you are right it won't be until Seattle no matter what at this point.
He looks in pretty good shape here.

Dude looks toned, muscular and fit. I thought he was more of a thick/beefy body type dude. But looks more in the AD body type (nobody is AD mind you).
Like if Staley decides to use him as a cornerback?Yeah I feel like it will mostly mirror our year with Suh. Unless Staley uses him in a completely different way....
Wouldn't that be funny though, just to see @oldnotdead lose his shit? Well ok maybe it wouldn't be funny.Like if Staley decides to use him as a cornerback?
This what I thought would happen. Activated a week or so before the bye to play after it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were also PS moves made during the bye.
I love that show lol. The Chief makes it too I love a disapproving boss with a mean deadpan.
