Teams no longer have to carry a player through the cut to 53 to be designated to return from IR later in the year. The #Packers once had to sit Equanimeous St. Brown b/c of that restriction. Last year, Luke Tenuta went on IR the day after final cuts but was never activated. Practice-squad QBs are now eligible to be elevated an unlimited number of times as an emergency third QB.
