Malcolm Mitchell returned to practice for the first time since week 1. They can activate him any time in the next 21 days if they want to use him.

I believe MM and Vincent Valentine are the only eligible players on IR that can return.

So we have Dola, Hogan, Cooks, Dorsett, Britt as of now... is there even room for MM? Idk, maybe put Dorsett or Britt on the practice squad? I dunno

I have no idea idea either, a lot of ?'s there beside Dola & Cooks (Hogan still isn't 100%)

I would take a healthy and current Dorsett/Britt over a rusty MM, although given Hogans circumstances, it would be nice to have more familiar depth in MM in january.

There's a lot of depth, though. We can basically consider Gronk a WR in terms of his pass threat.

I'm excited to see Harrison setting the edge on 3rd downs. I feel like that's gonna be his main use.

Other than that, I'm pretty iffy about Gostkowski as of late

that's how I feel. I heard some crazy call-in theories on WEEI today... my favorite was that Tomlin cut an under the table deal with Harrison to sabotage the pats and either play shitty, let Bell run wild, or give up the pats gameplans.

Bill Parise, Harrison's agent, said Saturday the parting was amicable but Harrison was "clearly" frustrated over his role in the defense. Pouncey spoke strongly about the responsibility of a longtime Pittsburgh Steeler to carry out what's best for the team, including mentoring young players. Rookie T.J. Watt and Dupree -- both first-round picks -- replaced Harrison on a full-time basis this season. When asked whether Harrison was a mentor to him, Dupree laughed while walking out of the interview scrum.

And now they are putting out more scripted smokescreens to make the story more believable: http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/21893214/multiple-pittsburgh-steelers-blast-james-harrison-forcing-exit



The story they are putting out has one flaw though: If Harrison was unhappy over playing time, why would he think that joining a different team late in the season would put him in a situation to play more? So you can clearly see that this alleged "unhappiness" is just a facade to trick the Pats into believing he is upset with the Steelers.

What BB needs to do now (obviously) is print up some fake playbooks and "accidentally" leave one in a place that Harrison can easily grab it and take it home without being seen. But what he won't know is that there was a tracking device lodged into the spine of the book. Then they can see where he brings it.
