Injured Reserve (IR) slots are extra roster spots that can be used for players who are temporarily unable to play due to injury or other qualifying statuses.
Commissioners can set the number of IR slots in the league settings, up to 10.
IR Eligibility
A player may be eligible for an IR slot if they carry one of the following designations:
Out
Suspended
PUP
NA
DNR
Doubtful
Players officially placed on their team's real-life Injured Reserve (IR) list
These player statuses can change throughout the week during the regular season.
Some eligibility options must be enabled by the commissioner in league settings:
Roster Lock
If you have a player in an IR slot who is no longer eligible, your roster will become locked.
This means you will not be able to:
Add free agents
Make waiver claims
Adjust your roster
To unlock your roster, you’ll need to create space by either:
Moving the now-healthy player out of IR
Dropping another player to make room
Completing a trade (if your league settings allow it)
Important Note
Some players may lose temporary injury designations after the season ends, even if they are still recovering in real life.
Players will not regain IR eligibility until they receive a qualifying status tag again based on official league/designation updates.
