[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 839519, member: 4199"] That is the part that is not true. He'll be subjected to waives on the way to IR. Once there, he stays. There's no "coming off IR when you're healthy," (except for those who make it to the 53 and are then reactivated after 6+ weeks.) IR is supposed to be reserved for injuries that will last prevents practice or play for 6 weeks. (Though from what I can tell, it doesn't distinguish between pre and regular season, so with a 6 week diagnosis, it seems the Packers could put him on IR in completely good faith.) The "minor injury" designation is for just that--minor injuries. The trade off is, you lose the player when he's healthy. So, for example, if the Packers decide that St. Brown is NOT in the plans and intend to cut him, but he's only going to injured for 2 weeks or so, then we end up in this weird spot of him leaving the roster when healthy/able to pass a physical. You can't cut an injured player. So you either negotiate an injury settlement or keep-to-healthy-then-cut-from-IR the guy. The advantage for the player is you stay with a team to get treatment and as soon as you can pass a physical, you're signing with a new team. So, very advantageous for the player. If you get an injury settlement, you've got to sit out those weeks AND you're not getting treatment in the meantime. The other way we end up with the minor-injury designation is when a player doesn't want an injury settlement. They don't have to accept one and will continue to get paid as their contract says. Of course, the team will likely be happy to cut bait with those players. If they approach players with such an option, they likely want them gone. OR previously hoped to resign them once the injury settlement timer runs out, but by not taking the settlement, they revert back to the first category. :) [/QUOTE]
