Now confirmed, Damien Harris and Josh Uche’s rookie seasons are both over after they were placed on IR. With nothing to play for and both players having slight ailments, this isn’t a big surprise. A few players were signed to fill the gaps left by the IR movements, including Cornerback’s Dee Virgin and Michael Jackson Sr, one would assume that these are more of a backup option with a view to seeing them in the offseason.
