This is a good thing.

NFL changes IR designated to return rule to require no such designation
By David Fucillo @davidfucillo on Mar 23, 2016, 8:01a

"The NFL announced a rule change on Wednesday that will have a notable impact on rosters this fall. The league changed the injured reserve with return designation so that you no longer have to designate the player ahead of time. Teams are still only allowed to bring one player back, but they can bring back any one player they've placed on injured reserve.

Previously, if a team wanted to use the one return designation spot, they had to declare it when the player was placed on injured reserve. Now, they can just see who is getting healthy quickly, and take them off IR. Once they take that player off IR, the rest of the IR players must remain on the list."

This is going to be important for us because we have a few rookies in this hopper.

This may be the first thing the league has done under Goodell that I actually like.

You liked the 2 point rule, so this is 2 things.
