All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
if you are POZ and get put on IR, does that mean you can't come to the practices or watch the film room? Are you essentially off the team? Or can you come back when healthy and practice with the team, you're just limited from playing again?
I think, although unsuredly, that a player can work with trainers on recovery but is barred from practicing. He can watch all the film he wants at home, can communicate with coaches, but the organized, team practices are off-limits during the season.

This is my understanding as well.
To expand, when a player is on IR, the team can take the initiative to reach an injury settlement in which the player is paid part of his salary and then released. Teams would only do this with a marginal player, either because they think they could re-sign him without much competition from other teams, or to give the player a chance to sign on with another team in the event they no longer have a need for his services. The Bills would have to be completely nuts to do that with a promising rookie like Posluszny, who would be the object of a bidding war by half the league if he thusly became a free agen.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Very curious.
IR is generally just a stockyard for players to be kept on the team so that teams can still have 53 active players. They can do everything and I would even imagine that they can practice, but usually their hurt/rehabbing, etc., so "practice" would be out of the question.
You know, Poz is doing everything he can under the rules, to keep up.
How far that is, I'd like to know, but I know Poz would be back as soon as
he could, but now he can't, and that kills him.
It kills me too, can't wait to see him again next year( I hate that saying, 'next year')

Didn't the new CBA cover this. I think the "stockpiling" has been addressed and the new IR rules cover that. There used to be a date in November when a team could bring a player on IR back if they were ready or would be ready soon, but that has been done away with. I also believe that practicing is not allowed, but I'm not 100% on that.
