Designation means they have 3 weeks to activate him if it's the same as for Robinson. Not sure they rush it this week, seems more like a get him back for depth after the bye.
I certainly see no reason to rush Noteboom back into the fire unless there is an issue @ reserve LT post. OT Evans would seem to have recovered enough from his shoulder injury from the Giants gm. to continue his role as the swing OT reserve until after the bye.
Now DL'er Robinson is different. I would like to see him get some snaps this Sunday. I am sure looking forward to seeing how DL coach Henderson works in AR. I have already posted on my hope for a new mixer of DL'ers with Brockers getting more work in conjunction with AD @ the 3 tech post along with his normal duties @ the 5 tech. With AR working in the 5 tech & NT posts.
Having AR lining up @ the 5 tech with GG/SJD @ the NT & Brockers @ the 3 tech, then plug in Donald anywhere on the 5 player DL or double stack him anywhere @ random behind any of the 3 point stance DL'ers.
