Crazy to think that AT LEAST 8 of those names that are not crossed off have missed time to injury or suspension this season.

You provide a lot of information that folks here appreciate. You provide “data” that can be trusted. That being the case, I would soften your Commish statement to reflect that being an opinion, not fact.

Is there any news on Decker? This is the one that concerns me.
Yesterday Coach said “didnt feel optimistic for Thursday” but hell be good to go the next week vs GB
The fact he completely missed the last 2 days tells me hes probably not playing. Nor is Davis. Well know by 4 today

What I heard back in early October was Cominsky could be back in December. What I’m hearing now is early Jan at the earliest. There’s a Good chance he’s not healthy in time.
Barnes the Jury is still out on when he may or if he may be back.
Iffy got put back on the IR so I assume he’s done
Iffy got put back on IR after being activated. Meaning they hope he can come back if they didn’t believe he could come back at all for the season they would have left him on IR. Because they already opened up his window at the end of the window they had to activate him or putting him on season ending IR.
There are undoubtedly contractual things, or procedural things that required his coming off of IR from one injury to be put back onto IR for another. That is to say, I do not believe they could simply not activate him. Or, at the very least, there was a contractual obligation or benefit for doing it. I don’t think it had anything to do with their plan to bring him back at another point in the season.

Once the practice window is opened the player has to be activated or stays on IR for the rest of the season. Iffy was at the end of his practice window, so he had to be activated to keep him eligible for this season. Now he goes on IR again and the cycle starts over.

He came off IR and had a separate injury and went back on the IR for that separate injury. He must stay there for a minimum of 4 weeks.
need to get ‘em working with Foxy more this offseason…he’s never been injured → friggin’ machine

That is an assumption. It may be correct, but it seems to me there are likely contractual implications to closing a guys window on him because he suffered another (different) injury while attempting to come back from another.
They closed one window and IR’d him a 2nd time because:
A. Money, guarantees or other considerations made it necessary to IR him separately.
B. They wanted an opportunity to bring him back later.
My vote isn’t for B. Dan’s demeanor sort of sealed that. CD3 is out there in a cast. CD3 will get a handsome contract to return. Iffy? He gone.
I completely agree. @DBend144 is a spreadsheet and data wizard. Much appreciated brother

Not only is he obsessive about presenting data, dude also has dirt under his fingernails, proving he’s more than a pocket-protector-wearing nerd sitting in an office somewhere. (No offense @FreebirdPartDeux )

I don’t understand your logic. Firstly, if they want to move on from Iffy then they would just have left him on IR, no? Why use up an activation, when they’re limited, and then maybe another one, for a player you have no faith in? Faced with a choice of using 0 activations or potentially 2 on him, the staff chose 2.
Secondly, his contract is a regular rookie contract. He was on the active roster in week 1, his contract won’t toll, and the cost and cap number is the same if he’s on IR as it is if he’s on the active roster.
If the team didn’t think it was a worthy injury then they wouldn’t have put him on IR for it, they’d have pushed him through it.
Whether they want to bring him back in 2025 is another question, but it seems pretty clear that they want him around this year.
The staff chose 1 designation to return (which is the limited resource that’s gotten so much attention).
The team activated him from IR to the roster, then moved him to IR again. He has not been designated to return a 2nd time yet. Were he designated, we would see him on the injury report today.
If you consider Dan’s comment at the presser and his visible disgust, you’d might come to the same conclusion that I am. The do-si-do they did with IR may be related to procedure more than wanting to designate him again. I don’t know if there are contractual or vesting considerations here. I suspect there may be.
