No one knows. He was on the the active roster. Payton actually called him Sunday night to let Deuce know he was still in the game plan. But, you have to wonder..... With such a close game, you would think that if he really was in the teams future, you would want to have him play. It seems Pierre Thomas is the better bet at this point.
