Injury & Roster Status

IR

Also known as: Injured Reserve

What does IR mean?

Injured Reserve is an NFL designation that removes a player from the active roster. A player on standard IR misses at least four games; a player on "Designated to Return" IR can be activated after four weeks. Many fantasy leagues have a separate IR slot you can stash him in without using bench space.
