7. Each team may have a maximum of three (3) players at any one time on an Injured Reserve List. The player must have a medical condition that prevents them from playing for a minimum of three weeks. The player must provide the Commissioner with a doctor’s note upon their return explaining the nature of the injury. The injured player remains the property of the team they are registered with. If a player starts the season on the IR as per the 25-man protected list submission (April 20th), they must remain on the IR list until three weeks (21 days) has elapsed. First eligible day would be Commissioners decision based on when the player was placed on the IR.
Rationale: Estimated time on the IR is not required; the player has to be on the list for 3 weeks (21 days), he can stay longer, but just cannot return to active status until a doctor’s note is provided advising the player can play again. The timeframe details the length required if starting the season on the IR.
