you have unlimited IR spots. he isnt "wasting" one.

hes on an IR that is designated for return. you have limited players who can return from IR spots, you know what I mean.

Pre-Season / Roster Cutdown IR Placements

The rules permit teams to place up to two players on IR during the final 53-man roster cutdowns while immediately tagging them as "Designated to Return". This prevents teams from having to carry a severely injured player on their active 53-man roster for 24 hours just to keep their season alive. [1, 2, 3, 4]
The Catch: If a team chooses to use this special cutdown-day loophole, those designations automatically lock in and immediately count toward the team's 8 regular-season allocations. [1, 2]Once that cutdown day designation is submitted to the league, it cannot be rescinded or changed to "season-ending" to get the slot back, even if the player suffers a setback and never plays a snap.

this is confusing.

was he one of the "2" from preseason?

why can he not get on the field yet? Very aggravating when we really need WR help now

Hurt so long I forgot his actual injury.

he's never played a game with us.

So after the bye, it sounds like. Atlanta at the earliest. They need him. I've been a believer in Cowing but he's just not producing.

I know that. I am saying he was hurt so long ago (July/August?), that I forgot what his actual injury was.

Same. I did it based off of the small sample size of his rookie year. But too many negatives to wait and see any positives.

The Legend can start practicing this week correct?
