I dunno. We got two weeks before game one. Maybe IR is overkill?? Maybe this two weeks and the first game or two is enough time?

Damn. Got me over here wishing we had a week 3 bye.

He’s gotta be on the 53-man roster week 1 to qualify for IR-designated to return.

Whats the rush?

 

[slanidrac16]

It’s always at the position we’re thinnest at.

 

[Redsz]

Could of been much worse. Dodged a bullet.

Nah, give him the extra time. Calf strains, if not treated properly, can lead to torn Achilles. Plus, JG will probably want a full roster to start the season and not have to hold a spot for him. Could allow for further evaluation of another player or two, who are on the bubble.

I hope we're cautious, calf strains are the worst of the soft tissue injuries. The injury could linger the entire season if not treated properly, or worse, he could tear his achilles. A torn achilles is basically a career ender for a pass rusher, he would never be the same.

 

[JosiahLee]

Man so glad I was wrong it’s not season ending. I’m guessing they put him on IR to be cautious. If he returns week 5 that’s over 6 weeks of recovery.

 

[football karma]

it wasnt an acl or an achilles

it doesnt look to be season ending

if Darius plays 12 games, i am good with this and the Cards dodged a bullet there

Terrell Suggs tore his Achilles in the 2012 offseason and was back in 5 months. He had 57 sacks in the following eight seasons and garnered 10, 11 and 12 sacks in three of those years.

I didnt realize that happened to Suggs, I guess some pass rushers can overcome it. From what I've read most do not. My mind is still fresh from David Ojabo tearing his achilles at his pro day. Before the tear he was being projected as a high first round pick, was taken in 2nd by the Ravens, and has been well below average in the year since his recovery.

He was injured (knee injury) early last year too though. He was viewed as a huge gamble by the Ravens and hasn't worked out so far.

If nothing else, you made me feel terrible for a couple of days.

Dodging has no impact.

We take bullets all the time it, this one wasn’t fatal

Right my friend?

We are the crash test dummies of NFL fandom!

 

[Garthshort]

Good to hear. I thought we were just dummies.

 

[Chopper0080]

Yeah, as K9 said, nothing will happen until the season date for final rosters. If AZ puts him on IR before that date he is out for the year.

The only actual info Rapoports tweet contains is that it's a multi week injury. The rest is conjecture.

Just as likely he's out a few weeks and misses game 1, and maybe 2 before returning. More likely even.

 

[MadCardDisease]

O

Yeah, as K9 said, nothing will happen until the season date for final rosters. If AZ puts him on IR before that date he is out for the year.

i believe there is a new rule change that allows the team to return up to 2 players who enter the season on IR.

 

[JosiahLee]

Well let’s see what happens. Perhaps he misses 8 games or so? Lol

 

[BACH]

He’s gotta be on the 53-man roster week 1 to qualify for IR-designated to return.

As far as I understand he needs to be on 53, but can be put on IR immediately, which will create a roster spot.

Meaning.. He needs to be included in the 53 for the trim down to 53, but his IR roster spot can be used if Monti wants to bring in players from outside on waivers.

So indirectly it "saves" a player that would have been cut when/if players from outside are added. We have to assume that there will be 1-3 players brought in from other teams

 

[Chopper0080]

That is only after final roster cuts.

 

[MadCardDisease]

That is only after final roster cuts.

Maybe I misread the rule update but I thought it said on roster cut down day you can now designate 2 players to return from IR. Whereas before they had to be on the 53 man roster to start the season before you could designate them for return from IR.
