Tim Bonner released

[B.C.FAN]

The Lions have released American DT Tim Bonner, signalling that free agent signing Woody Baron is likely to be activated this week after two stints on the 6-game injured list. Both play the 3-tech position. Bonner was a healthy scratch in the past two games as the Lions juggled the ratio and started Nathan Cherry at his position. Cherry had no stats in his two starts.

I noticed Cherry in the game when Lions played a 4-3, with Cherry coming out when Lions played a 3-4 with Lokombo, Williams, Hladik in as Nats, and Rugamba as the American SAM LB.

It will be interesting to see how they tweak their ratio again to get Baron onto the roster this week.
Chungh looks like he is returning and Pierson had a solid debut against the same opponent. Dare I say sit Norman and start 4 nationals on the o-line? That unit has played so well and I hate to mess too much with their success.
My preference would be dropping Josh Woods given they have plenty of national depth at LB

Lions are only starting 2 Nationals on the Oline, so sitting Norman and starting Pierson in his place means 3 Nats on the O line (Godber, Chungh, Pierson), plus Cottoy at receiver. That would allow Betts (backed up by Menard), Lokombo, Williams (backed up by Hladik) as the 7 starting Nationals.

Yes Danny, of course. It certainly has been a luxury having 3 American linemen and 4 American receivers. With Baron ready for his debut and potentially Richardson next month something has to give with our ratio without Rourke

Elks have signed Bonner.

Sione Teuhema has been ruled out of Saturday’s rematch with a lower leg injury so that opens a rotational roster spot on the DL for Woody Baron but the Lions would have to juggle the ratio to start him, and their options on defence are limited unless they start Adrian Greene or Hakeem Johnson on the corner for Delvin Breaux, who is the 6-game injured list. TJ Lee and Jalon Edwards-Cooper were both full participants in practice Thursday so they should be available to start on Saturday. On offence, Sukh Chungh is listed as doubtful so Andrew Peirson will likely get his second straight start at right guard.

Looks like Richardson will be practicing by mid october according to Farhan, which adds more to why they released bonner

[B.C.FAN]

Richardson’s debut in orange can’t come soon enough. Nose tackle Josh Banks was injured last night, and David Menard took a lot of reps inside with Woody Baron. Rick Campbell said after the game that he heard it “wasn’t a devastating injury” but hadn’t yet talked to the team doctors.

[Pratzy]

Richardson is out for the year. In hindsight, should we have kept Tim Bonner?

[Hambone]

Stove had a setback according to 3Down and is now on the backburner for the remainder of the season. They do still have Miles Fox on the PR.
