aggiebones Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 When are players returned to the active roster after a previous season on the IR? For instance, a player on IR for 2012 is active when? At the start of 2013 training camp, after the 2012 Super Bowl, some random date in the offseason? Thanks for help, we need this date to settle argument in league.

Big John Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 First time eligible to be active (if not "designated for Return") is right after their season is over. But no official desgination unti the start of training camp, when a player can be active or placed on PUP for an injury that is still lingering. A player can be taken off pre-season PUP anytime prior to the final cutdown day, where the player is either placed on the active roster, in-season PUP, IR or cut.

stevegrab Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Big John, Do you know what is the reason for putting players on PUP during pre-season. Does that allow them to add another player to roster (there is a limit during camp/pre-season, no?). Since they can come off at any time I just wonder what siginificance it has for the team/player.

Big John Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 I believe they are put there so they are still eligible for regular-season PUP. If the team declared a player on pre-season PUP ready to play/practice then he can be taken off that immediately without waiting the minimum 6 weeks.

My understanding is that this is the reason - if on the pre-season PUP, the player does not count against the camp roster limit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 (edited) I believe they are put there so they are still eligible for regular-season PUP.

BCs comment too, could be both things combined. Edited August 22, 2013 by stevegrab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big John Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 My understanding is that this is the reason - if on the pre-season PUP, the player does not count against the camp roster limit Actually, they do count against the 90-man roster limit.

Big Country Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 Actually, they do count against the 90-man roster limit. Then I must've misunderstood some of the recent transactions about the injured/waived players not counting against the 90 man roster, etc. Not surprising as some of those roster rules can be confusing as hell. As to the OP, technically speaking there is no injured reserve between the end of one season and the start of the next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
