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.
Injured reserve. Means the player is not eligible to play for the rest of the season due to injury.
As long as there is nothing in the player's contract that forbids it, a player can be traded while on injured reserve. I can say that I can't remember that ever happening but it is within the rules since the team trading for the player would know of the injury.
IR means that a player is on a injured resreved list and that player isnot going to be able to finish the current seasion.A torn acl can be a result of a player becoming on the ir list.I hope this helped if you have any other qestions don't hessitate to ask or you can look on this websote for a more detailed explantion http://www.answers.com/topic/injured-reserve -JordanThe IR list is Injured Reserve. When a player is placed on the IR, it means they have suffered a season ending injury. In order to free the players spot on the roster, a team places the injured player on the Injured Reserve list. The player is still under contract with the team, unless an injury settlement is reached and the player is released, but cannot be placed on the active roster for the rest of the season/year.
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.
Yes. The NFL mandates that teams put out an injury report every week to declare who's hurt and how bad. However, when a player is seriously injured, and that injury will take a long time to heal, the team may put the player on 'injured reserve'. This is a list outside the normal roster limits, but once on the list, a player cannot rejoin the regular roster that season.
he is not if its not a bad injury. he is if its bad.
A player may stay on the IR for as long as the injury takes to heal or until his contract expires. However once a player is put on IR he may no longer play for the duration of that season.
