They said on ESPN that he has an outside chance of being available for the post-season. Question: if somebody is IRed, are they eligible for post-season?

Since this was apparently not quite as bad an ACL tear as some people get, it's a damn shame if it's true they need to do the full reconstruction thing automatically. The speculation about being available for the playoffs seems to indicate the year long recovery full reconstruction thing may NOT be automatic. Anybody know?

Plus, if a team made it to the NFC Championship game or the Super Bowl, would they really want someone to play that hasn't played all season? I mean, something must have been going right if they made it that far. The only thing that could force the issue I suppose is recent injuries.
