Didn't someone, somewhere, mention IR Pats doing some practicing a few years back ?

Interesting.

Anyone mind explaining this rule change? I'm guessing its much less interesting than my post seems to indicate it might be...

Teams used to use a 3-man wedge on most kickoffs. The NFL passed a rule this year saying wedges can only be two men and, if there are multiple, more than X yards apart.

He could go on Reserve/NFI too.

If we were going to do that, he would have been put on IR right straightaway, not waived, right?

By waiving him injured and having no one claim him, we are on the hook for his IR $$$ but we don't own his rights, I don't think.

Sometimes they are not always at the No. 1 position, but I don’t think you pass up good football players to get the guys who aren’t as good just because they’re at a position that somebody feels you need.”

Maybe, maybe not.

WikiAnswers - What does it mean when a NFL player is waived injured

Waived/injured is the process by which non-vested veterans go on IR before the final cutdown. If the Pats were to place Porter directly on IR, he would still count against the roster limit.

It appears Porter received an injury settlement and was released.
