guessing this means jones will be out longer than expected? or just a depth move

can't hurt to have added RB depth behind an injury prone back

Nice to have Akers back. Sounds like Jones should be fine but they needed depth behind him regardless. Both to limit his snaps and in case of another injury and as much as I like Chandler, he can't be the only guy and they don't trust him to block in obvious passing situations.

Played admirabley while Mixon and Pierce were out and now that they're back i guess he's no longer needed

Honestly didn't realize he was still around

After his time with Rams I didn't recall seeing him around

Nice to have Akers back. Familiar with the offense, definitely better than Gaskin. Chandler is inconsistent and not good in pass pro. He was playing well and taking that job from Mattison before his injury last year.

It's weird cause it was reported they were close to signing him back in the summer and it even appeared on the NFL transaction wire, then something happened and he wound up signing with Houston. KOC seems to love him.


I'm sure the conditions are something insane that won't be met and both teams will keep their picks.

He's good depth to have, but I think they needed a guy who was better on runs between the tackles, in case Jones is out. Akers is better than Chandler there, but not by much.
