Freeing up a roster spot

[Bill B]

Just curious - with the offensive line in shambles right now and the team looking for able bodies is it possible for the Redskins to deactivate Brandon Llyod and free up a roster spot to sign another offensive lineman?

The reason I say deactivate is you cannot cut Llyod right now due to cap reasons and I don't think you could put him on IR if he is actually healthy just to free a roster spot. But if you deactivate Llyod wouldn't this allow the team to free up a spot for an offesnive lineman and not have to put Randy Thomas on IR who may be able to come back in December?

If you deactivate Llyod yes you only have 5 recievers but I would think getting another offensive lineman is more important at this point than carrying a reciever who may get in for one or two plays a game.
