New IR rules

[Basbear]

I may have the lot, but its in bits

 

This year the NFL is allowing teams to put two players on injured reserve ahead of the final cutdowns that they can designate for return later on in the season. Those two distinctions need to be made during the final cuts, those being the cuts that are made between the end of the final preseason game and the aforementioned roster deadline, as opposed to moves made earlier in the preseason.

 

(you got to think Dante Jackson will be used here....maybe Crumedy as well)

 

While each player may be designated for return twice a season, a team is allowed just eight returns from IR during the regular season. In the latest adjustment to the rule, a team appearing in the postseason will be allowed 10 returns that year.

Old refresher -

 

Most of the rules remain the same. Once a player is placed on the list, they must miss at least four of the team’s games. While on IR, they are not counted on the team’s active roster — although their compensation is still counted against the salary cap.

After four games, a player may be designated to return, which opens a 21-day window during which they can attend practices but are still not counted on the active roster. If they are not activated to the roster during this period, they must remain on IR for the rest of the season.

 

Roster nerds take note.....
