Injury Replacements
Passed 8/20/04 - IR will be defined as on the NFL IR list. You may have a maximum of 3 players on IR through the season. They may not be moved off of IR to your team's active roster until the season is over. If, however, a player designated as an IR for one team is traded to another.....the acquiring owner has the right to place that player either on their active roster, practice squad (if eligible), or IR. IR players may also be dropped to Free Agency.

Here are our rules per MFL (REPORTS/RULES/BYLAWS) on IR:



If I put 3 players on IR, then drop one, may I put someone else on IR?

I am placing J Phillips on IR. If the answer to the above question is NO, I want him dropped instead of IR. I'm doing it in this fashion so it won't hinder me time-wise from picking up a replacement player.

Thanks.

I interpret this rule as a yes, if you have three players on IR but drop one of them then you have an open IR slot and can put someone else there. However, it could lead to you then readding the dropped player no longer on IR, which would then break the rule. I don't see this potential issue being a serious problem though, since the player is on NFL IR and thus wouldn't help your team anyway.
