Patriots Injury News Larison to IR

Status
Not open for further replies.
Yes, but it delays any need to make a quick decision on him. He can be added a 4th RB whenever we wish, presuming the injury isn't a major one.
I think he's done for the year.
 
That stinks.
I really had high hopes for both Larison and Lampe this season.





Next man up:





Prince, 25, entered the NFL as a UDFA out of Tulsa in 2023. He appeared in two games for the Kansas City Chiefs that year, exclusively on special teams. He spent last season on the Miami Dolphins' practice squad, then this past spring with the Memphis Showboats of the UFL.
 
Does going on IR now, in training camp, mean he can’t come off this season ? Or can he come off during the season. IR confuses me now.

Agree some clarification would be appreciated.

Teams can designate two eight players to return - but only after the roster is cut down to 53 players.

Edit: see helpful corrections below.
 
It's either season ending or he can come back later in the season. Either way they are storing him because they liked what they saw and want to keep him in the pipeline. Not altogether bad news for the kid
(1) It's rare that UDFAs who end up on IR get a second chance with that team, although there are rare exceptions.
(2) Even in the best case scenario, he can't practice with the team anymore, but he can attend meetings, etc.

Isn’t it eight players who can return during the season?

You're conflating a couple of things here.
* Teams get eight DTRs a season now (up from two in 2017, down from unlimited during COVID).
* Teams can use two of those DTRs on players placed on IR during the final day of cuts.

Good lord, he is faster than Henderson!

Is it during the final day of cuts? Or during preseason, and on the final day of cuts designated to return?

I’ve seen statements both ways, and nothing definitive to resolve the ambiguity.
