On the other hand, after reading this Pasquarelli passage, there may be a thought process in putting him on the IR:

In the past, many of those (slightly injured) players would have been released outright, particularly if their injuries were of a relatively benign nature. Or many teams might have just reached injury settlements with the players and then sent them packing. But if there is sufficient salary cap room, and a coach feels a player can contribute to the team the following season, the player is dumped onto injured reserve and the club retains his rights.

"You've got situations, too, where a team might be really well-stocked at a position," McKay said. "And so instead of keeping an injured player at that position on the active roster, and have him take four or five weeks to rehabilitate, they'll 'I.R.' him. They figure they can get by at that position and still keep the injured player around for next year."

None of this, of course, is an outright affront to the NFL's injury rules. It might represent a slight bending of the guidelines, but there is nothing slight about the heightened number of players on injured reserve. As the commissioner noted: "I've never known a coach who wasn't trying to keep as many players around as he could."

This year, it seems, they've found a way to legitimize the old art of stashing.

-------------------------

I think they may be stashing him away until next year, with no risk of losing him.

That could be considered cheating- we would never do anything like that.

I remember listening to the radio a few days ago and hearing Parcells and Keyshawn and Mortensen talking about teams doing this on their show. I think they mentioned the Patriots do it a lot.

Well this is from one of two things:

A. Jetcane's observation that the Jets do not want to release him but want him for after this season and beyond and when Stuckey came up with some sort of injury they were able to just move him to IR.

Or.

B. There is a possible re-apperance of his Senior season leg injuries at Clemson.

I didn't see the point of carrying 4 TE's and 6 WR's so this will knock that down to 4 and 5, thus allowing another spot on the active roster for a PS guy or Free Agent, ala someone who they believe can contribue better in 2007.

I cant say I am very surprised that ventrone was cut, though some fans will be disappointed. he was just not getting it at DB, and Lord knows we need BETTER players out there- not worse.

He might have been kept as insurance if Eric Smith couldnt go, but Smith looks like he's getting ready to play.

mike elgin survives and ventrone gets cut

weird

so we have 1 open spot on the practice squad....think we sign a raven player

why sign a saftey when we lost a wr?

The spot was taken already. The Jets signed a 6'9", 320lbs tackle to the practice squad.

Nasty Streak

After seeing very little action at Pittsburgh due in part to off-the-field incidents, Capizzi did not dominate on the small-school level. Must get stronger, develop a nasty attitude and play to his size to make it at the next level.

Biography:

Former Pittsburgh transfer and three-year starter awarded All-American and All-Conference honors as a senior.

Pos:

King-sized, finesse blocker with tremendous growth potential. Quick off the snap, strong at the point and plays with a wide base. Patient in pass protection, makes good use of angles and seals opponents from the action. Stays square, plays with leverage and holds the point. Works well with teammates and keeps his head on a swivel.

Neg:

Over-extends and bends at the waist. Not a dominant lineman who finishes blocks. Does not play to his size. Lacks overall footwork.

Capizzi makes big impression

One of those players not likely to make the 53-man roster -- barring injury-- is rookie tackle Jason Capizzi. He has made an impression in camp and has shown he knows his way around left tackle -- something others have failed to do.

It appears, however, that he is headed toward the Steelers' practice squad unless another team claims him off waivers.

At 6 feet 9, 315 pounds, Capizzi is an intriguing prospect who is not quite ready. He played at Pine-Richland High School and spent a year as a redshirt at Pitt before transferring to IUP, where he started the past three years.

"Jason's been working well, and he's been progressing," Tomlin said.

"Of course, the speed of the game and things of that nature for him -- not only because he's a rookie but the level of competition that he competed against -- have been a factor. I think he's made a good representation of what he's capable of.

"We'll continue to evaluate him. He's a prospect, but it's some distance between him and some of the names we've been mentioning in terms of the quality of their execution at this point. But we acknowledge he's a young guy. We like the way he works."
