not very nice for the player though. "we're going to move you to the practice squad and cut your pay even though another team would probably put you on their active roster."Would be nice if a team could move players to/from the practice squad w/o having to go through waivers
Yep. Use the MLB injury designations.and honestly...just make every player able to come back from IR just make it so that they cant play for the next 2 months or something
Sounds to me like each team needs to construct the best and smartest 53 man roster possible and not use rules as a crutch or an excuseThere's a very specific reason that the game day roster isn't 53. Go back to 2013, when the Pats were banged up, and many weeks it was a struggle to find 46 healthy players. Now imagine that team having to play an opponent with 52 or 53 healthy players. It gives the latter team an even bigger advantage.
I'd be OK with changing the rule to make "game day inactives" into "emergency players" who can enter the game if (and only if) a player on the 46 is ruled out.
What they need to do is if they are promoted pay them what the vet min is for a game. If they do it 3 times or "is out of options" they need to either release the player of guarantee the vet min.not very nice for the player though.

I think the injured reserve stuff started because the redskins were stashing players on the dl a couple of decades ago.
At one point in league history, the team's used to have 49 guys active on game day. That seems like something that would work well in today's game.
Hopefully the league approved 2 guys coming back from the dl.
Now they need to focus on an 18 game season and only two preseason games.
One option:They vote next week.
As for an 18-game season, a serious question: who would the opponents be?
