Special rules for this season only will provide the teams a lot of flexibility.
COVID- If a player tests positive he will be placed on the Commissioners exempt list. He can return to the active roster when medically cleared. There will be a 1-week roster exemption if he was out for less than 4 weeks, 2 weeks if out for more than 4 weeks. Players will receive their full paychecks if affected by COVID
All other Injuries/illnesses (football or non-football)-A player can be placed on IR for a minimum of 3 weeks. Once the player returns to practice the team will have 3 weeks to return him to the active roster. There will be NO limit to the number of players placed on IR and returning. Goes into effect 4 PM Sep 6 so will not apply to players injured in training camp unless the player is on the final roster first.
I could see both sides really liking these rules. Can you imagine how it could change how a season is managed?
