The NFL announced a trio of changes to their rules in advance of this year’s training camps and the 2022 season on Wednesday night
Along with the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), the NFL announced changes to the rules regarding the injured reserve list, the practice squad, and the “ramp-up” period at the start of training camp. As a whole, they aren’t drastic changes, but they will have some effect.
Injured reserve rule changes
Players will need to sit out a minimum four games if they’re placed on the injured reserve. Additionally, teams can only designate 8 returns from the IR.
