Scratch Jordan Morgan from the roster for the remainder of 2024. Lafleur confirms that he has reinjured the shoulder he hurt in training camp, and is done for the year.
It seems likely he had surgery on it, because he was absent from practice for a couple of days and showed up on the sidelines yeesterday with his arm in a sling. At least one reporter specifically asked Lafleur if he'd had surgery, and Lafleur specifically avoided a yes or no answer - just blew right past the question, which I guess is basically the same as shouting "hell yeah, damned right he did!"
This is the first I realized how badly he'd been struggling with that shoulder all year. So that's two of our highly anticipated Day One and Two picks who are basically redshirted their first year - Morgan and Lloyd. We'll apparently have both of them back and at full strength next summer, to augment the incoming draft class, so it should make for a pretty exciting training camp. I know we'll probably still get a few games out of Lloyd this season, so we'll at least have some useful data on him, but it'll be almost as though we have one extra 1st round pick coming into camp and an extra 3rd rounder as well - amping up the level of competition.
It also gives Ryan a nice bump in pay because apparently he gets a $2 million bonus for the extra snaps, and more importantly he's guaranteed another 150 - 300 snaps (depending on how the playoffs go) to show he can be a valuable contributor. It might allow him to show enough development to make the decision on Myers a lot easier.
