The offensive line works as one unit, substituting only when there are injuries, the fewer substitutions the better for the team's effectiveness.
The defensive front will substitute constantly throughout the game so while we list 3 starters, in reality 2 to 3 of the defensive backups will play as much as the starting line will.
Yeah, I appreciate the need for rotation on the D-line, I just thought with Orakpo and Carter likely playing end in any four-man front we could perhaps sacrifice somebody for another O-line body.
Having said that, I see we have 3 O-line guys on the practice squad, so we do have a safety valve should we need it.

You just have to look at the PS as a an extension of the roster, maybe.

I would guess with that signing LB Henson's knee turned out to be worst than first expected.

Well, the thing with Henson is I believe hewould have made the team over Blades. He was the better performer in live action this preseason and if he become healthy at some point this year I would not be surprised to see him back on the team.

I thought once you are placed on IR you can't play for the whole year no matter what.

Even though the 53-man roster was completed yesterday, and the 8-man pratice squad was finalized today. I look for a few moves in the next day or two.
Will be interesting to see who we can pick up to upgrade the team. My main concerns are DB/ Secondary depth, OL depth, WR quality.

You thought right. Luckily for us Henson was released with an injury settlement, which means we can bring him back if we want to. I would be pleasantly suprised if they cut him so they can use the roster spot and plan on bringing him back later in the year if his injury isn't that serious.
