rai Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 (edited) I just got to thinking with the bye-week as well as early (Thursday games) in theory it would be possible for a player to play more than 16 regular season games. I don't think this has ever happened that I recall. Edited September 18, 2010 by rai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimm74 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Do you mean if a player was traded?....if so, sure, but what is your point? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustDoIt Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Also, if a player was traded before there bye and after the teams they are going to has had their bye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slambo Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Only if a player got traded from a team that hadn't had its bye week to a team that had already had its bye. Other than that scenerio how is it possible?. Teams only play 16 regular season games. And I agree with grimm, whats your point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 Do you mean if a player was traded?....if so, sure, but what is your point? Who needs a point? Anyway it is impossible for a player to play 17 games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grimm74 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 no it isn't...improbable maybe but not impossible i was hoping that was understood, but yes very possible highly unusual....who wants to satisfy this huddlers curiosity and research if it has happened in the the nfl? im guessing they are interested in seeing if a player has been "legally" active for 17 games... or is the fact of it possible satisfying enough? i have already wasted enough time on this thread...ill leave the research for the really smart guys.

v0dka Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 No it's impossible, because it's never happened. duh. Because of a midseason trade, Eagles LB Will Witherspoon became only the fifth player to play 17 regular-season games. source: http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/recap?gameId=300103006 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SatchDork Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 I think rai might have been confused about his own question. Obviously, the 17 games thing is possible, has happened before, and, barring injury, will happen again this season. By mentioning Thursday games, though, it seems like what he's really asking is could a player play in two games the SAME WEEK? A scenario like playing in the season-opening Thursday night game, then being traded Friday and suiting up for that new team Sunday. This, of course, is prohibited by the NFL. The window "closes" on certain roster moves as soon as the week's games start and doesn't "open" again until all the games are over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
