Looks like Abraham is coming back

LB John Abraham to return to Arizona Cardinals - ESPN

Really hope he's good to go... not worth coming back if he's risking his life, but if he's 100 percent then that's awesome, awesome news.

Yeah, not sure how to react to this. A week ago he was ready to walk away, but now he's supposed to be 100% into the game again? Doesn't really comport with human nature. And at his age, he needs to be into the game to be productive. A young Abraham could probably half-arse it and contribute.

It was also disturbing to hear he has been having serious memory issues the past year, yet (if I recall correctly) had no history of concussions before this year??

I think this was more about the mental fog resulting from the concussion than it was his lack of desire to play. We shall see what happens...

Abraham did not pass concussion protocols yesterday. The team will likely try again on Thursday. With only two sacks on the defensive line in two games, we could really use the help!

That's concerning he still hasn't passed. I hope AZ has a Plan B in place. They are desperate and are probably pushing the guy, but rushing back doesn't sound in his best interest right now. Isn't James Harrison unemployed?!

They brought him in for a workout last week...

And shipped him off just as fast!

So much for the idea, lol.

Someone educate me...can we sign guys off another team's practice squad? Wasn't sure if they were free game.

 

[DweeberAZ]

From an online article...

Practice squad players are free agents; they can be signed to any team's 53-man roster at any time during the season. In other words, NFL teams are free to "poach" other teams' practice squads without compensating the teams.

Hopefully Abraham passes his concussion protocol test today or he won't play this week.

Abraham has been placed on IR and will no longer be available for the season. It is likely that he has played his last game for the cardinals.
