2013 Injured Playerse

With a highly contact sport, comes ample opportunity for injuries of various kinds. A injury can ruin a players game, their season, or even end their career. Every player heals differently and in their own time. We have seen certain players milk an injury longer than needed but also players who have played through their injury for the sole benefit of their team.

A injured reserve list means the player suffers a major injury and will be out for the remainder of the season. Thus 2013 season, these players have made the list:
-Henry Melton: Chicago Bears; torn acl
-Ryan Clady: Bronco's tackle; left foot injury
-Aaron Berry: NY Jet's cornerback; knee injury
-Dennis Pitta: Ravens TE; hip surgery



If a player is lucky, their injury may be minor enough to land them on the designated for return list. They must be on the injured reserve list for at least 8 weeks to be eligible. Most players wish to make this list if they are injured.
