This is an excellent observation.
This would mean he wouldn't play until week 6..and that isn't gunna happen anyways.
The way I see it, here is the depth chart for WR in terms of reliablity right now:
Moss
ARE
Thrash
McMullen
Mann
Devin Thomas
Malcolm Kelly
Obviously they are not going to carry 7 wideouts, nor are they going to cut our 2 draft picks, nor, in my opinon, can they risk only the top 3 vets and the rookies since they either suck or are injured.
So, if they dont put Kelly on the PUP list, they will likely keep McMullen as insurance as he has some experience and has shown 3rd down receiver capability....the difficult point is Mann is right there with him.
So putting Kelly on the PUP gives the skins the opportunity to keep both McMullen and Mann on the roster, then when he comes back they can keep the best of the 2.
If McMullen is better, they can drop Mann to the practice squad, otherwise they cut McMullen (I dont think he is eligible for PS)
To me....that sounds like a "plan"....perhaps the same one Zorn was referring to....
Good observation Matty
