I can't resist the urge to take another shot at the NFL's roster rules.

This is a prime example. With injuries becoming more and more of a factor in what makes or breaks a team, there should be no big dilemma for teams in this situation. Allow Thomas to take the time he needs to get healthy, and let us bring someone else in. When he's back from injury -- let him play.

The same thing happened to us in 2005. WR David Patten got hurt, but was ready to go by season's end just in time for the playoffs, but since we had to place him on injured reserve, we were stuck with the likes of Taylor Jacobs and Jimmy Farris.

Why won't the NFL change this absurd rule?
