I’ve brought this up a few times, but with how the Saints injury situation has developed their IR situation/strategy will not be nearly as cut and dried going forward. You’ll have players with longer injury timelines (Elliss and Jennings being good examples) who stay on the active roster.
That’s because you only get eight IR-return designations per season. The team has already used three:
- Jaylan Ford
- Lorenzo Styles
- Zach Wood
And there are already three more on IR you expect to bring back down the line:
- Jordyn Tyson
- Travis Etienne
- Kelvin Banks
That means that you effectively have two more return slots to work with the rest of the season and it’s only Week 6. If they had sent Elliss and Jennings to IR, that would be zero. · Quoting Robert Parker: @Jeff_Nowak Why not just putt those guys on IR
Why it's #1 Travis Etienne (top-50)

We'll have to wait and see in terms of IR guys. We know not to expect WR Jordyn Tyson.
But there are two other IR guys who could return this week in LB Jaylan Ford and DB Lorenzo Styles Jr. Considering the Saints LB room is dinged up, probably wouldn't be a bad time to get Ford back.

- Oct 7 Jeff Nowak (X) Saints practice today was a walkthrough today with some notable absences. Didn't spot: - Chris Olave - Barion Brown - Anfernee Jennings (knee) - Alvin Kamara - LB Kaden Elliss (calf) Also a few notable returns. Carl Granderson (ankle) was back practicing. The Saints have also opened the return to practice window for LB Jaylan Ford and DB Lorenzo Styles. Both guys looked to be moving well. Brown was dealing with a hamstring injury previously and did get dinged up late. Kamara was dealing with a knee issue in the second half but finished the game. Olave took a hit to the knee area on the final drive.

Jaylan Ford: Injured Reserve

- Sep 1 Jeff Nowak (X) The cutdown day rule is relevant because it prevents teams from having to cut additional players for guys who are destined for IR, but previously couldn't land there until after cuts. This year the Saints used both (Jordyn Tyson and Jaylan Ford).
