have a status of '0ut' (0) oi 'Injuieu Reseive' (IR) to be eligible to be placeu in
an IR slot on an ownei's iostei. Injuieu playeis with a status of 'Bay-to-Bay'

fiom that page.



A playei who is moveu to an IR slot while IR-eligible can iemain in the IR slot
inuefinitely, even if he is no longei IR-eligible. If this situation exists, week-to-

will fiist have to be iemoveu fiom the IR slot.

All tiansactions will be subject to the iostei iestiictions as uefineu in Aiticle III -

An exception to the yeai-enu iostei fieeze will be maue if a playei on a playoff team
suffeis an IR-eligible injuiy uuiing the playoffs. If the ownei of the injuieu playei has

emeigency acquisition to ieplace the injuieu playei foi the iemainuei of the playoffs
oi until such time as the injuieu playei is no longei IR-eligible. The emeigency
