One last question, just for clarity's sake...assuming an impact player goes down early in the season, and are slapped with a DTR designation, does that open up their roster spot for someone else?
They can only use the IR DTR return on a player on the opening day 53 man roster and once they go on it, their roster spot opens up for another player until that player is activated again. The player must sit out six weeks and then can practice for two before being activated. He can practice during that time without costing a roster spot.
Also, if player injured in the preseason is given that designation, he needs to be on the active 53 man roster for the first week of the season before he is put on the IR designation.
