Hopefully Spencer is at least put on practice squad. He seems like an old school Redskins. type guy.

Mitchel is on IR. Just not here:

Tevin Mitchel - Indianapolis Colts - 2015 Player Profile - Rotoworld.com

Ditto, would love an education on the implications of placing a player on IR.

For players in their first few years, they cant be placed on IR until the first cut down date. When Mitchell was injured, we had a bunch of CB's already out. They had the option of practicing with hardly any CB's or waiving him and using his roster spot to sign another player. If they are waived, they have to clear waivers before he can be placed on IR. They took a chance and it didnt work out. Had we not had so many injuries to that position at the time, I figure they would have held onto him and then put him on IR when they could.
