Yep, I think getting him up to speed as an Hback is a great idea. But if they're going to put him on IR, why not just put him on IR?

Because of the severity of the injury, it would be difficult for the Packers and Lyerla to reach common ground on an injury settlement. Lyerla probably would argue it's season-ending and he should be paid his full salary, whereas the Packers probably would maintain it's more of an eight-week type of injury.

If the Packers were able to reach an injury settlement, Lyerla would be free to sign with any team. According to an NFL club source, the Packers wouldn't be able to resign Lyerla as a member of their practice squad until after their eighth game.



So if all our TEs go down (or shit themselves) we could theoretically reach an "injury settlement" at midseason, then hope he clears waivers.

Or possibly even if Kuhn goes down:

On Tuesday, tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot said the Packers hadn't discussed the possibility of moving Lyerla (6-4, 260) to fullback, where John Kuhn will be 32 next month and is playing on a one-year contract. Last week, Lyerla admitted he was somewhat intrigued about a move to fullback, especially because blocking was one of his strongest suits in the first week.

"Just in terms of the jobs I was asking him to do, that (fullback) certainly seemed to be something that kind of fits in his wheelhouse as far as his build and his makeup," said Fontenot. "He's got some explosiveness, some natural talent."

Asked what about trying to become the next Kuhn, Lyerla replied, "I mean, whatever pays the bills."

#Packers TE coach Jerry Fontenot said move to FB for waived-injured TE Colt Lyerla "certainly seems to fit his wheelhouse." Time will tell.

When Hyde was drafted every single Kiper wannabe was saying Hyde was drafted to be a safety. Only Uncle Teddy and Mike were telling us they drafted him to be a CB.

Yeah. Everybody and their grandma said Hyde would be a better S than McMillian and MD Jennings. But Capers refused to play him there, because he wasn't his boy. I guess for Dom, seniority means more than competence.
