East Brady Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 The way I read it, this is the first time the mini IR has been used??? From todays Buffalo News: "There are two classifications of injured reserve, major and minor. By league rules, Vincent is on the "minor" injured reserve because there is a good chance he will be healthy before the end of the season. The minor classification was created by the league to prevent the stashing of players on the roster. For instance, if a team has a young player who is going to be out for a short time, it can't shelve him for the year to prevent him from going to another club."

rwjr Posted September 15, 2006 Share Posted September 15, 2006 Didn't the Bills do the same thing with Travis Brown? Or was that an injury settlement prior to the start of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
