The Washington Football Team activated LB Reuben Foster off PUP, an impressive moment in his recovery. Some background from January: https://t.co/P3m2BT8vUQ
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 9, 2020
He tore his ACL 446 days ago. He's got a chance to be on the field in Week 1. https://t.co/tYopdVKZmS

Reuben Foster off PUP. I’ve been told his ability to move after injury is - phenomenal! Once he adds discipline of how to play within a scheme and discipline how to be vocal leader of a team, he’ll be the best LB on the field. #washingtonfootballteam

So Logan Thomas actually takes Derrius Guice’s roster spot. Reuben Foster was on active PUP, so he already counted toward the 80-man roster.
— Nicki Jhabvala (@NickiJhabvala) August 9, 2020
Washington now has 78 players cleared to practice, plus Alex Smith on active/PUP and Kelvin Harmon on active/NFI.
Some people think NFL teams are unfair for weighing character seriously in decision-making. Those concerns are warranted more often than those people think. https://t.co/7lJ0RlPh8z

Derrius Guice went unclaimed on waivers. He is a free agent, per the NFL transaction wire.

The top teams with more picks than expected on the roster are the Chargers (31%), Rams (24%), "Football Team"(21%), Falcons (19%) and Eagles (18%)
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) August 9, 2020
Doing some draft research from 2016-2019. Raiders, Jets, and Browns stand out for the wrong reasons. Raiders have 27.4% less players on their roster than expected. Jets have 27% less and the Browns are at 25.3% underwater.

Is there a CTRL+ALT+DELETE option for 2020?
— Kristen Saban Setas (@KristenSabanS) August 9, 2020
With the number of underclassmen declaring for the draft early and so many more certain to follow, I wonder if the NFL doesn't explore the idea of going to a few more extra rounds next spring.

Idea: @TheRock should immediately create an eight-team one-city bubble for XFL fall 2020 and welcome top college talent for Saturday games. They’d get to play, and they’d get paid. pic.twitter.com/EVdnX70YP0
