When all else fails, Smack em' in the Mouth!
The NFL will now allow teams to designate three players to return from injured reserve.
The 2019 Eagles say the change is coming one year too late. This rule has predictably snowballed after the league abandoned its moratorium on any players returning, but it remains a sensible reform. It was patently absurd in a contact sport to have such an all-or-nothing injury policy. The concern remains teams manipulating and abusing the rule to stash non-injured players, but three remains a defensible number.
