Engram "Questionable" With Possible Thyroid Illness -- Hackett Could Start

This one's a bit odd: WR Bobby Engram has been downgraded to "questionable" status (Sando) for the Rams game. Coach Holmgren said they were monitoring a thyroid condition that seems to have make Engram ill.

D.J. Hackett would get the call in Engram can't make it. Monitoring...

Hmmm...

Bad timing. I just accepted a trade in my fantasy league for Bobby Engram.

love Ingram

but I'm not disappointed that Hackett is going to get some snaps. He seems to be our only true downfield threat, and I'd like to see what that kind of option does to our underneath and sideline routes.

That, and Stevens' return, should make the running game a little better as well.

Ok quick Roster question

How many players can you have active for the game? Hackett has been inactive the last 2 weeks which makes sense because he wasn't going to get time at reciever but he does play special teams.

I had always thought you could have all 53 guys active? Does anyone know because I don't really feel like diggin around right now.

It's a MMORPG... rtard

Just wondering

I was P.O.'d when the Bears decided to cut Bobby Engram to keep Dez(great practice player)White and I'm still pissed.
You guys watch him every week. I've always liked the guy. Do you think he's about done or does he have some more catches in him?
I hope he does and I was hoping to get him back when you signed Branch but oh well.
How's he doing?

Bobby's got some mojo left.

Bobby's been pretty reliable this season. He might be our best receiver in the slot right now, though that's something Burleson likes to do as well.

He's getting up there in years, and you have to think the tank's running out at some point. But to my surprise so far this year he's been pretty solid. At least so far he's defied my usual feelings about wide receivers going for a long shelf life. After this year my guess would be he probably has at least one good year left. I wouldn't be surprised if he stretched it out a little longer, but that's my guess.

Thanks for coming by!
