Default Re: Should suspended NFL players be eligible for IR status?

I know it's not personal, Burt... so I don't mind your "arguing."
For the most part, it's a lack of common sense that gets people suspended... including Big Ben this year, even though he wasn't officially charged.
Anyway... just my opinion. But this isn't one of my "fall on the sword" battles.

I see your point - some players you can expect this to happen (Plax, VJax, Holmes), but some players not so much (Big Ben). Injuries can also be caused by players stupidity (Winslow riding motorcycles, Smoltz ironing a shirt he was wearing at the time)

When a player is suspended in the NFL, is his slot used up, or does the team get to replace it with another active player?
