if it's not a publicity scam
No!
A player on injured reserve remains on the team but cannot participate on the active roster for the remainder of the season.
Once they are on the injured reserve list, they remain there for the remainder of the season. They can play again the following season if they are not injured and the team resigns their contract.
It depends on the injury. Most will be in rehab.
'Waived injured' means the team is releasing the player but the player is injured. The team is responsible to pay the player until his injury has healed. This is usually done by reaching an agreement for a specific amount of money, called an injury settlement. Other teams are allowed to pick up players on the waived injured list but they are forewarned that the player is not in condition to play. Sometimes, if a player on the waived injured list is not selected by another team, the team will retain the player and place him on its injured reserve list.
They would usually come to an injury settlement, so they can open up the practice squad spot for someone else. Unless the player will be back quickly. Definitely not going to put them on the injured reserved.
Yes he can only comeback next season
