I don't really care too much about this one (anymore), but I do think it runs contrary to the spirit of the rules to not allow suspended players on IR.

Think about it. We let into IR any barely dinged up player, whose coach decides to list him as questionable for whatever reason. How can we NOT allow on IR a player who is truly Out and for multiple weeks?

The one caveat I would make is that a suspended player on IR has to be reactivated in the first week he is eligible to play. This way the IR cannot be used as stash for a player who was once suspended.
