Quote:Speaking of, how does that work, the whole he-was-on-IR-and-coudn't-play-but-now-he-can thing? Is the fact that his contract was voided mean that his IR designation went away as well?

 

I think you can release anyone off of IR at any time provided they can pass a physical or you have reached an injury settlement with them. However, they cannot re-sign with the team that put them on injured reserve. The IR designation for Hood was only with Jacksonville, so if he's no longer on the team he cannot have the designation. Generally it doesn't happen much since teams usually want to keep the players they have on IR.
