Here’s an update on what’s going on with the ‘G Men’. They placed a tight end, Scott Simonson, on injured reserve on Saturday. Tight Rhett Ellison was placed on IR on Friday. Defensive end Chris Slayton and tight end Garrett Dickerson have been activated from the practice squad to fill those holes.
