Same goes for free agents like Gallette and Taylor.
Both were so broken down last year they shouldn’t count against IR.
The same goes for DHall.
Nicholson, Fuller, and Moreau all slipped in the draft because of injuries.
Nicholson unfortunately has bad shoulders at the safety position which is unfortunate.
Fuller was limited his rookie season while recovering from ACL surgery but was outstanding last year in the slot.
Moreau was limited last year but we all expect him to play well but who knows if he can hold up. At least corners don’t take the beating RB and TE take.
Nicholson will probably only survive 6 games.
I got Reed in there for 8.
CT will play 16 but daddy gruden is going to keep bubble wrap on him by limiting his touches to under 15 a game.
The best ability is availability!

I completely agree. This front office does draft talented players that have slipped in the draft because of injury concerns or are injured during draft. Could this practice lead to a roster with more injury prone players? There are more than you listed.
A few more that come to mind:
LB Shaun Dion Hamilton
RB Keith Marshall
Arie Kouandjio
There are more, I cannot remember them all.
Then we paid a lot of money on FA WR Paul Richardson, a player that has missed a lot due to injuries.
We resigned G Shaun Lauvao who has missed a lot of time to injury
We resigned TE Jordan Reed to a big contract knowing he has a reoccurring concussion problem.
Our FO made these moves knowing our teams injury problems and that these players have a history. Maybe time to rethink this bargain shopping.
