so I don't know exactly what happens to a player when they're placed on the injured reserve (IR) list. Do they still get paid? Do they still have benefits? Can they still work out / use the team facilities for rehab? What exactly does IR mean for a player other than he's hurt and can't play?

He gets paid and is retained by the team. If they weren't going to pay him they would just release him

on IR or practice squad or is that only when you are zcivated. I swear JD has little actual game time for several years in the league. Unbelievable string of bad luck for the guy. I keep hoping he gets a chance somewhere sometime

I know right. Nothing has gone his way so far...

The sad thing is...RB's have like the shortest shelf life in the NFL. Most are pretty useless by 29.

With all the bad luck he has had. JD should be thinking about using his Clemson Education, and get a job. It surely looks like Fb isn't going to be his future.

Yeah, but you can make a good living on the squad.

There's no drawback to making $5,700 per week no matter what.

Will probably be out of the league soon. Backup RB's have very short careers.

Right when he was drafted by them, I knew it was a going to be a long road ahead of him in the NFL. Best of luck, JD.
