ColoradoBills Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 55 minutes ago, The Monk said: Can't the Bills wait for him to clear waivers and then IR him? 31 minutes ago, Wayne Arnold said: Yes. The common mistake is focusing on the "waived" part of the transaction and ignoring the "injured" part. Before explaining what waived/injured means, it's important to understand the difference between waiving a player and releasing a player. When a non-vested player (someone with less than four years of experience) gets cut, he is subjected to waivers, which gives every team 24 hours to claim him. The player becomes a free agent if he is not claimed on waivers. When a vested veteran is cut (released) in the preseason, he can immediately sign with any team. In regards to injuries, vested veterans can be put directly on injured reserve without being exposed to waivers. But up until rosters are cut down from 90 to 53 players on Sept. 2, injured non-vested players must be placed on waivers through the waived/injured designation before being placed on injured reserve. This measure prevents teams from stashing young players on injured reserve. Once a waived/injured player clears waivers, he reverts to the team's IR. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Lightning Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 I feel terrible for him. He was in considerable pain. He's got some talent and this is a huge setback for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this is how it worked but I wasn't 100% sure and I didn't want to give out bad information. So I thank you.?

Freddie's Dead Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 "Running into the kicker" my ass. That was the plant leg, clearly PF Roughing the Kicker. NFL referees still suck donkey balls. Hope this guy can come back from that injury, looked like a decent punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He seemed like an intriguing prospect and was spoken well of in the Panthers' game. Meanwhile this guy Tyler Davis is still on the roster as a placekicker. I'm giving Davis the nickname "Trifecta" for managing to mis his only field goal attempt, his only extra point attempt, and his only kickoff attempt (kicked it out of bounds for a penalty. That was quite a feat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
