I am sure Harris will be picked up by another team somewhat quickly - the guy is a stud but found himself behind Rainey and Johnson. I wish him luck - except when he plays against the Lions.

Speaking of Boyko I was looking into the LA Charger's website today. They don't yet have a depth chart posted. There was an article posted where "Chargers.com" was interviewing the OL Coach about the current Charger OL personnel. Currently there are 14 OL listed on the Chargers roster. In the article 13 of those players were mentioned. The only one whose name didn't come up was one Brett Boyko.

Interesting Hambone.

My best guess is that Boyko will be a Leo this season if we wants to keep playing the game.
same position as Foucault ... hitting 3 year mark for PR
my guess boyko will be in TC next year as backup G/T ... hopefully can eventually take fabien's spot

Very short-sighted to think Jeremiah can go all 18 games without injury or a need to spell off. Just IMHO.

They still have Tyler Davis listed as a RB on the PR.

Technically no. Harris was on the 1G IR. Heaps is currently on the PR. BC still has one more spot available on the PR. Quite likely want to keep a PR spot open for a NAT OL that must be at the top of Wally's shopping list.

This is just a guess, but I suspect Harris became impatient and asked for his release. Wally has shown no hesitation this year in using the injured list to stash experienced players who might be needed in the event of real injuries.

A pair of ex-Lions have been added to the Alouettes' practice roster. They could both help the Ticats, who are desperately short of nationals, but I hope they find playing time somewhere in the league.
Montreal, August 16, 2017 – The Montreal Alouettes announced on Wednesday that they have added the following players to the practice roster:

Elie Ngoyi, (N) DE, Bishop’s
Stephen Adekolu, (N) WR, Bishop’s
Nate O’Halloran, (N) FB, Windsor

Good for Adekolu. He had seemingly been passed on the depth chart by both Shaq Johnson and Danny Vandervoort, and with Iannuzzi still here and producing there wasn't much room for him here. Hopefully he gets a fair shot to play in Montreal.

I noticed on watching the Chargers ex-game over the weekend that Boyko was playing right guard. ESPN's unofficial depth chart had him listed as RG on the 3rd unit.
