Due to the COVID-19 pandemic's uncertain impact on the game, the number of IR slots will be expanded from 1 to 3 for the duration of the 2020 season.
The number of IR slots will not go lower than 3 this year; It may be expanded (on a Tuesday) is the number of COVID-19 cases has a more dramatic impact on the season. The intention will be to return to a single IR slot in 2021, although that can be revisited in the offseason.
Players are eligible for an IR slot if they have been placed on IR or as soon as they are ruled OUT for a given week. This designation can be made as late as an hour prior to kickoff- all GMs are encouraged to check the NFL INACTIVES REPORT on gameday to be as prepared as possible.
When a player that is no longer eligible for the IR is in that slot, a team will be unable to make any roster additions until the player is returned to the active roster.
