I know the PUP and IR lists are different
I know if you go on IR it depends on WHEN you go on IR (this is the most confusing part to me)
I know you have like 3 weeks once someone comes off IR to decide whether to add them to the 53-man roster
Throw in suspensions, NFI, etc and it's super confusing.
Like, for example:
Phil Haynes
Jordan Simmons
Ed Dickson
When are these guys eligible to move to the active roster, and why?
Thanks for the detailed reply!jammerhawk":2kbim3qv said:A-Dog":2kbim3qv said:Apologies for even asking this question, but in terms of injured/suspended players, how do we know when and if they are eligible to return to active duty during this season?

There is a difference between IR and IRr, the later allows for the players return after they are healthy again. If a player is IR’ d at final cuts they are not eligible for return, but where they were on the roster after the cuts to 53 then IR’d they are eligable for return when cleared from their injury. A player cannot practice with the team to be eligible to be placed on PUP , so both Haynes and Christmas have not practiced with the team. PUP’d players are out for a minimum of 6 regular season games before they can be returned and the suspended players are suspended for the length of their respective suspensions. Reed is suspended for 6 games, which is listed with his roster info.
I don’t think you are right about IR returns but you are correct for the timing of whether player counts for a roster spot with a PUP’d player.
Haynes and Christmas are PUP players and eligible for return after 6 games
Simmons is an IR player and not eligible for return. He could be waived and if he clears waivers re-signed.
Dickson is an IRr player and eligible for return when healthy.
