To take Olsen's spot. Olsen to IR.

Too bad for Olsen. He was beginning to develop a good rapport with Russell.

The defense is really starting to shape up. Better late than never!

So does that mean he is out for the year guys???

IR s 4 weeks minimum this year I believe.

They're saying 4-6 weeks, so maybe he'll be ready for the playoffs.

It's 3 weeks for this year, as per the rule outlined below.

Injured reserve
COVID-19 rule: In 2020, a player going on injured reserve is allowed to return after missing only three weeks, and teams may return an unlimited number of players from injured reserve throughout the year. In a normal year, a player can't return from injured reserve unless he has missed at least six weeks' worth of practice and eight weeks' worth of games, and teams are limited to two players per year that they can return from injured reserve.

This year, a player on injured reserve can return to practice after three weeks. Once a team activates a player from injured reserve, it has 21 days to return him to the active roster. Reserve/COVID-19 is separate than injured reserve. Players on that list may return whenever they clear the testing protocol.

I stand corrected, thanks man.

Thanks guys!

You are welcome fellas.

I found it interesting under normal rules, you had to sit out 8 games if you got placed on IR. I didn't know it was that long. I knew you were allowed to designate 2 players per year to come off IR and return, and the rest are done for the year. But 8 weeks seems long, and to reduce it just 3 for this year makes me wonder if they might adjust the rule going forward next year.
