Yep Clock started on 7th. So that means by the 27th he needs to be activated (day 1 being 7th) https://buffalonews.com/sports/bills/bills-guard-feliciano-returns-to-practice-wallace-to-ir-white-roberts-ford-do-not-practice/article_7a5b00f2-08ba-11eb-b421-ff1e040799a0.html Now if it doesnt happen I dont know the next steps, does he have to go back to IR for 3 weeks minimum. The 21 day rule remains the same as a normal season... if they are not activated in 21 days then the player is ineligible to return the rest of the season. 1

I've never remembering that happening before. Going back for 3 weeks or IR'd for the rest of the season? I'll try to look that up but it seems almost sure he is activated. Someone has to get cut too. Seems it would be a DL. Well I know there is no Season long IR this year. So I think best guess is if they dont activate he is on the shelf at least for another 3 weeks I think. Just now, Scott7975 said: The 21 day rule remains the same as a normal season... if they are not activated in 21 days then the player is ineligible to return the rest of the season. Is there confirmation on that? Because there is NO season long IR this year, Everyone can return from IR this year

Because there is NO season long IR this year, Everyone can return from IR this year The only changes they made were shortening IR to 3 weeks and unlimited number of players can return. Quote Injured reserve COVID-19 rule: In 2020, a player going on injured reserve is allowed to return after missing only three weeks, and teams may return an unlimited number of players from injured reserve throughout the year. In a normal year, a player can't return from injured reserve unless he has missed at least six weeks' worth of practice and eight weeks' worth of games, and teams are limited to two players per year that they can return from injured reserve. This year, a player on injured reserve can return to practice after three weeks. Once a team activates a player from injured reserve, it has 21 days to return him to the active roster. Reserve/COVID-19 is separate than injured reserve. Players on that list may return whenever they clear the testing protocol. Thats it. Edited October 22, 2020 by Scott7975 1

Everything I just read says that but nothing about the changes to this Covid season so..................? EDIT: Scott has the answer. Edited October 22, 2020 by ColoradoBills
Scott7975 Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Although I do see how one can say it might just be 3 more weeks. You are correct that it is unclarified. Its because its unclarified I would assume it hasnt changed.

Thats it. Yes and says has unlimited returns. There is nothing in there that says after the 21 days they are don for the season. I think what that does say is after the 21 days they go back on IR, meaning the 3 week clock starts again. 1 minute ago, Scott7975 said: Although I do see how one can say it might just be 3 more weeks.

Understand your stance, but I also think the Unchanged language to me just reverts them back to IR. So with a No Season Ending IR, I think the 3 week clock starts again. Because actually really easy to get around. Put him back on IR for a Shoulder, boom different designation now 3 weeks. I have asked many of the reporters and to date no-one has really been able to clarify, I think because it hasnt happened yet is all. Edited October 22, 2020 by MAJBobby

I would say thats possible. I certainly can't argue that its not. Who knows with the NFL and their shallow grey area writing on everything. Someone call into WGR when Chris Brown is on and ask lol. 2

Activate him and Lacey is Cut (If Milano is healthy) and Lacey back to the PS Other Options include Knox or Ford to IR (Depending on injury severity at the end of the week) Even Brown to IR (he needs to get healthy) but I doubt they do that Edited October 22, 2020 by MAJBobby 1
MAJBobby Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) Just let Brown Sit for this week. Need him to get healthy. Also think look at sitting Tre as well (he also needs to get healthy). I think we should be able to handle the Jets either way Edited October 22, 2020 by MAJBobby
Kenosha2Buffalo Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 How are we going to cover anyone with all those injuries to CB.. even if it is the jets. Jesus
ColoradoBills Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 So as of now Lee Smith and Reggie Gilliam as TEs.
Logic Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 We have no corners left. If we have to start Taron Johnson, Dane Jackson, and Siran Neal, we’re in huge trouble — even against the Jets. Ugh.
ytownblofan Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 I think Tre should be fine to play - probably just sore and giving him time to recoup. Not sure how Norman hurt his hammy when he plays 15 yards off the line, but regardless, his loss would sting.
