Injured Reserve, Designated to Return

I was browsing around twitter looking at all of the guys on my feed, so many of them are already on IR and it got me thinking, who and when can we bring someone back?

 

http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Injured-Reserve-rules-need-an-overhaul.html

 

 

Permanent IR: Players with a major injury will be put on a team’s Injured Reserve (IR). These players may not return to the active roster for the rest of the season and the club retains their rights. These players are paid their full salaries or a split amount ( usually journeymen and later round picks) as negotiated in their contract.

 

Short term IR/Designated for Return: A new rule modified in 2012 allows one player per team to be reactivated from the IR list. A player with a major injury placed on the IR list must be immediately “designated for return”. The designated player is eligible to return to the active list if he has been on the IR for at least 8 weeks from the date he is placed on IR.

 

Waived/Injured: When a team waives an injured player any other team may claim him. If a player clears waivers the player is immediately reverted to IR or the team will negotiate an injury settlement to allow the player to pursue other opportunities with another club.

 

So I can't find anything on a player we have designated to return, this leads me to believe we haven't. If someone gets injured this weekend and we give them the designation they will return 8 weeks later or week 16...the end of the season. Not a total waste if we make the playoffs but perhaps a waste if we are out of it by week 14.

 

So here is the deal, can we bring back one of our other guys or is this designated rule very stringent?

 

 

Bruce Campbell

Jimmy Clausen

Linden Gaydosh

Charles Godfrey

Edmund Kugbila

Kealoha Pilares

Amini Silatolu

RJ Webb

Garry Williams

Michael Zordich

 

That is our current list on the IR. Do we want any of these guys back? Personally I wish we could bring back Kugbila and get him some reps for next year. Other than that I see all significant injuries or scrub players. I'm not sure how much gray area there is because last year I was sure David Gettis was done for the year and then he popped up on the active roster for 2 games.

      This season only ends one way... We win this Sunday. Bryce is decent. We take back 1st place...   Only to then get our brakes blown off in the last two weeks.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      Here's one of the most maddening things, that will be shown in full light over the next three weeks. The same people around here that called Darnold a bum and Mayfield a washed up over draft are also the ones saying Bryce is a catastrophe. Yeah, and I've been one who said Bryce wasn't big enough, brave enough or capable enough. I said back in the day that Darnold had a lot of fight in him and got shouted down. And on Mayfield, heck I didn't know, I just knew we had a very, very bad team that was run terribly. But I saw both of those guys go out there and resurrect their careers and be play-off bound since shaking the Carolina clay dust off their cleats. And we sat there and cat called their cars as they pulled out of the parking lot, laughing at what nobodies they were. Over the next three weeks, those two guys may just serve us sh!t sandwiches and then settle down to their just desserts. And then we'll probably let Bryce go off into the realm of other teams. And when that happens, will we see him coming back, better than before and we're left to re-sit this cycle all over again? Same naysayers, same results, same revolving carousel of ponies and pundits?  Will we end up looking like the Temu version of the San Diego Chargers back in the day watching Drew Brees come to fruition in the previously moribund Superdome while we whiff on a Manning pick just to be jilted for Phillip "Always a Bridesmaid" Rivers?
