Injured Reserve List

The Injured Reserve List ( dt . About injured reservists list ) is a term from the rules of the US team sports and describes the status of a player who is injured and is not able for a period of time to play matches. The term is mainly used in American football and ice hockey . In baseball there is a so-called Disabled List , in basketball the Inactive List , after the Injured Reserve List has been misused by the teams as a "player parking lot" .

Depending on the sport, there are different rules about which players are on the list, what they are allowed to do and what not during this time. This is mostly related to the collective bargaining agreement that has been concluded , a kind of collective agreement between the league management and the players.

American football

In the National Football League , players added to the list may no longer train with the team and be brought back to the active roster. Since the 2012 season , a single player on a team who was part of the 53-man squad at the start of the season (this was not a requirement for the 2012 season) and who cannot train or play for six weeks is allowed after the 6th week of the regular Season again to train with the team and be activated again after the 8th week and play. Up until the 2016 season , this player had to be marked as designated to return when placed. Since the 2017 season , each franchise has been allowed to activate two players. From the 2020 season, three players can be activated per franchise.

If NFL teams put a player with a minor-injury designation on the injured reserve who has an injury that was recovered before the end of the season, the player must be released after he or she has recovered .

ice Hockey

In the National Hockey League , a player can be put on the list if he is injured, battered, ill or unable to fulfill his obligations as an ice hockey player. A player who is on the list must remain there for at least seven days. His club may, however, fill the vacated place in the squad with another player, although the injured player remains officially part of the squad and is obliged to attend press meetings and, if his constitution allows him, also team training.
