Yes, he was inactive. I think that said Cousins has the confidence with the coaches that he'd be ready to step in. From what we saw in the preseason, Rex had one diaster of a game and one decent game. Cousins was consistently better than him.

This makes Rex expendable and his role of "veteran mentor" unnecessary. We can clearly see that Griffin needs no tutoring from him. Also, if Griffin DOES get hurt, Cousins is more mobile than Grossman and there would be less of a change in schemes that could be run.

I hope this rumor is true.

Right now, we have a backfield of Morris/Helu/Royster and Banks sporadically as a gadget play at HB with only Young at FB. Having Cooley available for FB would be valuable.
