No it's not speculation. You are the one assuming. He isn't sniffing the 53 man roster, you will see.

You do realize that any team can sign him when he's on our practice squad right?

I'm not saying he will or won't, all I'm saying is what the article clearly states.

Yes I realize that. I also realize that if Denver does not feel he is ready for the active roster they will cut him sign someone else to the 53 man squad then resign JJ to the pratice squad.

Not any team can just sign him off the practice squad though. There is time available where once a team knows another team wants to sign one of their players off the practice squad they can activate them first.

Because they just lost their starting RB.

Yes, but they obviously do not feel that JJ should be on the active roster. My guess is they want a bigger back. They'll re-sign JJ if he clears waivers.
