Las Vegas Raiders Promising Rookie Tanner Muse to IR
Promising rookie Tanner Muse is heading to injured reserve a day after the Las Vegas Raiders' 53-man roster became finalized.
The Raiders are sending linebacker Muse to the injured reserve because of a toe injury.
Muse's versatility on defense is something General Manager Mike Mayock fell in love with since watching him at Clemson.
In his first NFL training camp, Muse had an exceptional camp and never gave the Raiders coaching staff any doubts about his talents.
Muse is a hybrid-defensive player who has the size and skills to play both the linebacker and safety positions, which in today's game is needed, with the rise of pass-catching tight ends.
The Raiders plan to have him back this season, but he will likely miss at least three weeks.
In 2019, teams were only allowed to bring back two players from Injured Reserve, and then only eight weeks after being assigned to the list.
But with the CBA's new changes, the Injured Reserve list will differ from last year.
All players placed on Injured Reserve before roster cut-downs are not available for the season. Wide receiver Tyrell Williams is the example this season.
Any players placed on injured reserve after roster cut-downs may be reactivated to the active roster when healthy as long as at least three weeks have passed from the day put on the list, not eight weeks as was the case a year ago.
If a player is on the Injured Reserve list, he will be taken off the active roster, opening a spot for another player to fill.
With tons of talent let go on the final cut-down day, it wouldn't be a surprise if the Raiders call back a player they let go.
