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.

packerfanoutwest (14h) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (14h) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (15h) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (15h) : now 3

Zero2Cool (16h) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
