Quote:No he can't go on PUP because he's practiced in camp. PUP is only for guys who were placed on the list before camp and never practiced. He can go on IR with a designation to return, but only one player can get that designation so it would be tough to possibly waste it on a guy likely to just get hurt again given his injury history. I'm guessing Caldwell will IR him for the year or else carry him on the roster while listing him inactive throughout September and possibly into October.

 

  Expanding on what you mentioned,   the other risk of using the one IR move with a designation to return on A. Benn is the unpredictability of injuries to other players on the Jaguars in the next few weeks.    An substantial but non-season ending injury could occur to a player that's even more important to the present and future of the Jaguars.    If the one IR move with a designation to return is used on Benn,   that will limit the team's flexibility with injuries if they become numerous.  

 

  Probably the best decision would be to keep A. Benn on the 53 man roster early in the season,  as long as injuries don't severely limit the team's game day options.
