Unfortunately, injuries are a big part of the NFL. RTSports will designate an injury for a player with symbols each week. If your player is placed on injured reserve due to a severe, season ending injury, you may place your player on IR as long as his designation is "X". Each franchise will have 4 IR slots. Once a player is placed on IR, you will have his contract year(s) "freed up" to use on a player for the blind bid waiver wire or free for all. Once a player is placed on IR, his contract will renew for the following season and start over from his original contract. For example, if a GM signed a player to 5 years and he suffers a season ending injury and is put on injured reserve in 2015, then in 2016 his contract once again begins at 5 years. It will be up to all GMs to place a player that is designated with an "X" to go on IR. You may also ask the Commissioner to place a player on IR for you. You have up until Week 15 to utilize the IR as you can take advantage of the waiver wire and free for all as the season ends after Week 16. Any questions on these parameters please submit to the Commissioner's Inbox!
