IR and practice squad will get rings. Most likely every player who was on the roster at any point in the season for any reason in any capacity will get one.

The NFL gives the winning team 150 rings to distribute as they see fit. The team can then purchase as many additional rings as they desire. 

Well, thanks guys for 3 different answers. I know the new CBA changed the rules for IR besides IR-designated-to-return. Because it use to be that when a player was put on IR he was treated as if he was no longer a part of the team, not allowed at practice & definitely not allowed on the sidelines. Ask Kris Jenkins. Sometimes even kept out of the team facility. You could ask Steve McNair about that but he's no longer with us. I'm glad the rules have changed. It helps the team as well as the player on IR.

The NFL pays for the cost of 150 rings to the winning team, at roughly $5,000 apiece, depending upon the fluctuating cost of gold and diamonds. The winning team can typically present rings to whomever they choose, including usually, but not limited to: players (active roster or injured), coaches, trainers, executives, personnel, and general staff. Some teams have also been known to give rings to former players and coaches that were on the team at some point during the season, despite not having been on the winning roster for the Super Bowl itself.[1][2] Sometimes a team will give rings to fans as part of a charity raffle.[3] Teams can distribute any number of rings, but must pay for any over the 150-ring limit. A recent trend over the last 15–20 years has been lesser rings awarded to front office staff. These are commonly called "B" and "C" level rings and are smaller and contain fewer diamonds or contain faux diamonds. The first instance of this was the Redskins Super Bowl XVII ring when many in the front office received rings that were not solid gold and contained cubic zirconia stones (which resemble diamonds). When Tampa Bay won Super Bowl XXXVII, the players and coaches received rings with a diamond-centered Lombardi trophy. Some staff received rings with a metal Lombardi trophy and real diamonds surrounding the trophy and the "C" level ring did not contain any diamonds.

So it is up to the owner as to who gets a ring. Heck, Kraft gave one to Putin. It also use to be that players on IR did not. So let us hope that JR's heart has grown bigger than it was when he drew his pie chart because it very well could be that not everyone gets a ring, not A or B or C, for the Super Bowl or NFC/AFC Champion (i.e. Super Bowl loser). Ask Bill Rosinski. Thus, I said:

When we win the Super Bowl, I hope they consider rings for those on IR because they continue to help while healing not to mention their play before being hurt.

But thanks for your help! ;)

Photos are great as always, Jeremy. Glad you got one of Kelvin enjoying this win and the you're so right, Dave Gettlemen, the architect of this 13-0, should be the GM of the Year. He has assembled many of the pieces of this great team. 

I look forward to seeing the rest of this great season, getting Kelvin back and seeing Gettleman continuing to do his magic. This team is magic....your photos are too!!

      Preseason Week 3 - vs. Pittsburgh (practice tweets, discussion, etc)

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      They had best show out in Week 1 there are zero,I mean zero,  excuses for that offense  defense, haven’t play together yet and they still have Mr Soft and Predictable as DC  I expect break downs at times  …but that offense returns all starters except Tremble and both Mayes and Brady are veterans and can play LG and know the system not up for any participation awards this season they can save that practice energy for Jacksonville.     I’m sick of the, winning,  or looking competitive, when it doesn’t matter.

      There are some tough decisions that I'm eager to see the results of... Does Blackshear sneak on to the roster as RB4? Does the team go with 4 TEs or just 3 again? And has Mitchell Evans done enough to defend his roster spot from James Mitchell? Who is WR6 and is there a WR7? TMac, XL, Coker, and AT seem to be locks imo and I'm assuming Renfrow also makes it due to all of the camp praise. Who makes it between Brycen Tremayne, Jimmy Horn Jr, and David Moore? If the team goes with 7 WRs, which one of those three doesn't make it? Jacolby George and Emani Bailey both have not gotten a lot of game time. Could the Panthers be trying to hide them so that they can be stashed on the PS? Do they go with 10 OL instead of 9? Who makes it out of Walton, Carter, and Kingston? DL locks are DB, BB3, ARob, and Turk. That leaves Jaden Crumedy, Cam Jackson, Sam Roberts, Shy Tuttle, and LaBryan Ray all competing for the final 1 - 3 spots. Does DJ Johnson get IR'd and Thomas Incoom make the roster as EDGE5? What in the fuuuuuuuuuuuuck is going to happen at LB? Only locks are Wallace, Rozeboom, and Cherelus (Wallace has mentioned in media how Cherelus has been big bro for him on the team) seem to be locks. Rhattigan had some good moments against Houston, Martin-Scott is an SC guy, Krys Barnes has popped on defense and on special teams, and Windmon got time starting for the team last season. Are two of those guys going to make it or are the Panthers poaching from another team's cuts? CB5... who is it? Do they go with the 4 expected safeties or bring in a 5th? Has Ransom done enough to take the start from Nick Scott?

      I had this discussion with my buddy yesterday afternoon. If we start this season very slow(especially with the schedule being what it is) and then "rally" in the second half to get to 4-7 wins, I am already gonna be pretty heated at the staff overall. I know we are a very bad roster but I am not gonna keep excusing these slow season starts WITH late season rallies. That's a coaching staff problem, IMO. It's more excusable to just stink gate to gate, IMO. At least you can understand why.
