Way better than a torn ligament.

there is NO way we waste a roster spot on a guy that we won't have for 6-8 weeks. My dad thought it was broken leg... he pretty much nailed it.
But how long can you hold a spot for him? What about an injury settlement instead of IR. His salary is guaranteed for the rest of the year anyway and he's in the last year of his contract so no bonus money to accelerate. If he gets healthy, re-sign him, if not you aren't wasting a spot.
Why not? We did it with Fred Taylor last season and he wasn't nearly as important to this team as Koppen is.
IIRC you can't re-sign a player after agreeing to an injury settlement. He can only sign elsewhere--precisely to avoid moves like this.
