Oh ok, makes sense. So only one player can be put on IR with designation to return?

And you can only be put on PUP if you started training camp on PUP and stayed on it throughout preseason? Just trying to understand it all

Eta: essentially, if a player participated at all during training camp/preseason, he isn't eligible for regular season PUP?

Right. Only one player can be designated to return from IR, and you have to go on PUP before training camp starts and if you practice you come off which kills your eligibility for it.

So only Byrd is eligible for us but he would have been put on regular season PUP today I believe, which he wasn't so it looks like he is close to returning.

And the only injured players we have that would go on IR with the designation are Lewis, Ellerbe, and Humber but I doubt they'd use it on Humber.

Plus reading between the lines we kept only four ILBs while we kept six CBs. That points to Lewis going on IR with the designation, otherwise we'd be extremely thin at LB. That and we know Lewis' injury will be at least 4-6 weeks.
