So your question is if they keep him on the active 53 injured, can they put him on IR later. The answer would be yes.

I know they get two guys they can do that with. I don't recall a situation where a guy who could go IR was rostered and then IRed without a new injury.

If we can just IR designate to return with Adams whether he's rostered or not, it would make more sense to IR now to open another spot.

It is a big sign of his progress if they IR him or not.

This is what I was looking for:

***For any player to be available as a short term return designation, the player would need to be on the initial 53 man roster.***

This is key. So, if Adams gets IRed on the cut, he is done for the year. We have to roster him to have him at all this season.

I agree. What they do tells us if they think he'll possibly be a factor the 2nd half. I'm betting the just red shirt him in a sense and IR him now to create another spot.

If they carry him on the roster injured like he is can they really put him on IR for same injury later?

If you go back to 2016 with this link, you'll see that Dorleant was kept two days after the 53 man roster cuts and then placed on the IR... so that he could potentially return at a later date (which he did).

If we can just IR designate to return with Adams whether he's rostered or not, it would make more sense to IR now to open another spot.

To be IR eligible, you're to have an injury that will take 6 weeks or longer to recover from.

I believe the Packers did it with both S Chris Banjo and WR Jared Abbrederis... they had too many banged up guys at once... and them being the low men on the injury pool, they were IRed just to make more room for healthy players with fairly small injuries and were then released.

PS: Where did you find the "***For any player to be available as a short term return designation, the player would need to be on the initial 53 man roster.***" ... that's well worded. I wasn't sure if you got it from a link.

As for a qualifying IR injury, I found this:

A major injury is described as an injury that renders the player unable to practice or play football for at least six weeks — or 42 calendar days — from the date of injury.

The Dorleant info was good. Thanks. You know these rules are manipulated all the time by teams and very loosely monitored because we've put more guys on IR than anyone else it seems.

Years ago, I used to be able to get into the NFLPA website. I want to access the actual NFL rules regarding this but all I can find are team blog sources and whatnot. I want the letter of the law on the rules. Not making it easy for me for sure.

Does the team have to jump through all the hoops? Meaning, do they have to cut to 53, then announce IR? Or can they just say, he will be starting the season on IR. If they have to cut first, then that also means who ever they would put on the roster in his spot needs to go through all the Post cut procedures before being able to be brought back.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : First alternate: Elgton Jenkins Other alternates: Jordan Love, Kenny Clark, Keisean Nixon, Tucker Kraft, Josh Myers, Jaire Alexander

dfosterf (2-Jan) : There was quite a bit of "chalk" matchups this year it seemed, but not this week coming up

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : Or we got better and by we I mean everyone except me

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : We have about six that by percent would have won nearly any season. I guess 2024 was predictable 🤷

dfosterf (2-Jan) : Hats off to the Beast

dfosterf (2-Jan) : I'm at 71.76% in pick 'em. 2nd place. Beast is at a flat 75% 9 games ahead. That 75% has got to be unprecedented this late in the season

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : BTW, not serious.

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : You don't care about it either!!!!

Zero2Cool (2-Jan) : NIL and Portal killed college, no one cares about it.

Mucky Tundra (2-Jan) : outside of Texas-Arizona St, it's been a snoozefest

beast (2-Jan) : I expect Georgia will change that tomorrow, but we'll have to wait and see. If they do, then only Big 10 and SEC are left.

beast (2-Jan) : So much for Conference Championship meaning something as 100% (so far) of the conference Champions lost their first playoff game.

beast (1-Jan) : Happy New Year's 🥳🎉

beast (31-Dec) : I want to them chant some songs for Daniel Whelan

Mucky Tundra (31-Dec) : After London and Brazil, I could go without an overseas game for a while

Zero2Cool (31-Dec) : Packers. Steelers. Ireland. 2025. Reports say.

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Matt Lafleur on if Jaire will play again this season. "Yeah I don't know... he's been dealing with swelling."

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : After the way they played for most of the game yesterday, I don't see how you can sit anyone for the whole game

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : I'd say play everyone. Going into playoffs at 7th seed on two game lose streak - yucky

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Do the Packers have any best players?

beast (30-Dec) : Play or Rest*

beast (30-Dec) : Should the Packers play or free their best players vs the Bears?

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Packers should be 3 - 2 in the Division. Bonkers being swept by both Lions and Vikings. yikes

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : All crazy stuff…and good point beast

beast (30-Dec) : Packers should be 0-5 in the division, can't say I saw that coming, even 1-4

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Sam Darnold 35 TD's ... another one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : Baker Mayfield, 39 TD's ... can't say I saw that one

Zero2Cool (30-Dec) : No matter who is playing as 7th, I think we want them to win. Get rid of 2nd seed haha

go.pack.go. (30-Dec) : That would be dhazer who was rooting for Minnesota

beast (30-Dec) : Well, Commanders are currently the 6th seed and Packers the 7th

beast (30-Dec) : Who was it in Chat, that wanted the Vikings to win (because Lions fans upset them) because Packers could not lose the 6th seed?

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18

Mucky Tundra (30-Dec) : if the Falcons win, how does that affect the overall NFC playoff picture? Does it mean that the NFC South comes down to week 18?
