If baker comes back in the only reason is seniority or misplaced loyalty which would be moronic if your goal is to give yourself the best chance of winning. It's a football team, not a fraternity.

thank you. plus one for sure. I for one am not convinced that they will admit to being ready to give up on their second pick ever, esp after 'moving up' to reach and take him. when it's determined he's back to as healthy as can be, i firmly believe they will put him back in. again, i want to be wrong here, i really really do

I know i have heard over and over, as you all have as well, Coach says "we want to put the best players on the field" and even though Will has had 4 pretty darn good games, I do not think under any false hope or pretenses that they are ready to say a guy they picked up off someone elses practice squad (or had he been cut outright?) is better than the guy they drafted.
Different scenario all together with the safties. Coleman was the 'outsider' in that case. yes he went down to injury and lost his job after that, but he lost it to a guy they picked and had 'in waiting' to get there anyway.
