Teams are now allowed to use up to two designations to return from injured reserve before final roster cutdowns.


Previously, for a player to be eligible to return from injured reserve at some point during the season after a minimum of four games, he has to have been on the 53-man roster following final cutdowns for at least one day. If placed on injured reserve before that, his season would be over.


This year, they will still be able to use up to eight designations, but they can save a pair of roster spots if there are players with serious but shorter-term injuries.

The other part that changed was that the eight-designation limit only applies to the regular season. Teams that reach the postseason will have unlimited designations, provided the player has been on injured reserve at least four games.

That's what changed: you no longer need to pass-thru to 53 man before placing on IR.
