Owners have 1 week grace after a guy is no longer on injury report to bring roster back into good graces...just like the NFL does...cap and years...
Not sure the mechanism that stops owners from setting lineups is correct for this as there is the one week grace to ensure the player is indeed off injury list. Timing for lineup submission is the issue.
Penalty for leaving a player on too long could be lenient or harsh...100cbs is lenient and half salary of offending player is harsher (usually)...put it up for vote...not allowing lineup submission is really harsh and unacceptable I believe...
Those are my thoughts for now and you guys have the insights on what the software can and cant do...mix it up in a blender and let us know what to vote on...
I just dont think in its current state it is reflective of the intent of this league to mirror the NFL as close as it can...
Leave as is could be an option, but I would hope the other owners see this as a concern also...

I can't support a mandatory removal from IR when healthy without removal of the 4 week minimum. The 4 week minimum is a huge detriment to putting a player on IR. Many times it's been tough to make the call as teams haven't made clear the severity of injury and week to week becomes 4 weeks and beyond. Committing a player to a minimum 4 week IR is a good chunk of our season. IMO it's a huge detriment to using IR.
Now you want to clean up the ease to stash players with minimal injuries, that's fine but a much smaller concern then I have with the 4 week minimum. You're adding a 2nd detriment to using IR, which IMO is already too restrictive.
Take away the minimum and let IR be used in a more week to week fashion where you have to activate if healthy before you can make other roster additions. Yahoo leagues work that way and it's a much more difficult restriction to work around than you'd think.
