Anderson is a good story. Will be pulling for him to stick.
As far as experience he has experience at both LT and RT.

Anderson recently contracted malaria , per one story doctors gave him a 50-50 chance of survival.
He got the disease while on a trip to Nigeria, where he and his wife (who is half-Nigerian) were doing some philanthropic work.
My adopted father had malaria from a trip that I luckily wasn’t on. He always took military cargo $10 hops most of the times he dragged me with him.
Also learned not too long ago I am 10 percent Nigerian. (DNA test)
So I will be pulling for this guy to have finally worked his way back. Curious if the PS him or elevate him to the roster…

He was placed on IR prior to the season, then released. I know that he had to sit out the season for the ****’s because of this. Does his release then wipe the slate clean, or does he still have to sit out for a certain number of games still?
No he is a clean sign.
so wonder how he measures up with chuks ,, who is awol. Both were patriots
With fautanu placed on IR, the Steelers signed OT Calvin Anderson. Anderson was given a injury settlement from the pats. 3 weeks later we sign him to the 53. Anybody have a low-down on this. ? Maybe we got a great deal. Was / is he worse than chukes? Better? Was chukes playing in his spot because he was injured? Why do the injury thing if he is ok 3 weeks later and passes our physical. ?
We don't sign him to practice squad, he's coming to the 53. From my understanding.

Ahhhh the injury settlement ... see a team cant cut a player who was hurt playing for them without one... if they IR the guy, they have to pay him his game check each week...
so basically teams use the move to either get a guy off the roster who is milking an injury or to let a guy who they feel is too injured to play try to find another team that feels he is ok...
sometimes the team is going to IR a minorly injured scrub and tge scrub is a UFA anyway, so the scrub opts to take an injury settlement, find a team, and actually play a little to prove themselves for the next contract
Never heard of him...
All I know is this guy seemingly was a guy that had a decent amount of starts and has played both sides. I think they replaced him because of his loss of weight then strength. And then got lost in a numbers game. Maybe they thought he was too much of a risk. But he didn’t give up a lot of sacks held his own. They must have been happy with his workout to ultimately sign him…
Malaria is nasty.
My dad got it in the Philippines during WWII and relapsed in the 50s and 70s.

i shouldnt have started a new thread.. but i thought my comments were somewhere else buried...
Ok so he is on the 53? He is the back up swing tackle over cooke and anderson?
Was he better than chuks? Or should we send out a search party for him instead?

Cook is on IR, Anderson is more of a G. I would think he would be the swing if activated…
if he can do everything that chuks did , then this is a great trash heap pick up. I just really know nothing about him. Spencer Anderson it has been stated that he has been taking reps at OT for contingency this week.
So we have 3 wilsons and 2 Andersons now.

McCormick has snapped, but very limited and I doubt he is considered the back up C.
Nice solid player he is and for a fourth, nice value. Will be starting next year, possibly some this year, both at gaurd.
