LittleTinyUnbornBaby Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 I'm guessing this is to bring back Jenkins and Jackson? I'm pretty sure I remembered hearing that we were allowed to carry an extra 2 players on the roster because Jackson and Jenkins wouldn't count against the rostor total during their suspensions.

We have a one week roster exemption of J&J. In other news, Pat White's stuff is still in his locker at the Park from when he was released to sign Potter.

skinsfan35yrs. Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 Potter seemed like he was improving. I liked the fact he was kicking kickoffs out of the end zone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
