[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 839518, member: 7261"] Actually, what I said is that if we IR him before the final 53, we most likely lose him to another team when he is healthy in 4-6 weeks, his estimated injury time. At the time he is declared fit to play (not sure of actual procedures there), he would have to come off the Packer IR and be put on waivers, available for any team to sign. Then if no team claims him, I believe there is a waiting period before the Packers could resign him. So my point was, if the EQB is in the Packers future, they would need to put him on the 53 and THEN put him on IR. Then after 6 weeks, if he is ready to go, he is still a Packer. This is all moot if no other teams are interested in him, but as I said, I think after 3-5 NFL games, due to injuries, teams are going to be looking for a player just like EQB. BTW, I think you are confusing the old "Short term IR designation", which is no longer used. This was a designation you could slap on one player a year, a guy you felt would be ready to go after 6 weeks, but didn't want him to count on your roster. Now, anyone who goes on IR, after being on the 53, is eligible to return after 6 weeks, but each team can only do that twice in a season. Last season the Packers did it with Kumerow and Davis.
