You can't put him on the IR and return him. You can use the designated IR at the beginning of the season only.

After reading the rule, I don't agree with it. Short-term IR relief should be granted once any time you're looking at losing a player for a period of at least six weeks.

I think it needs to be changed to where you can use the designation only once a year at any point in the year. It seems unfair to penalize a team that doesn't have someone it wants to use the designation for at the beginning of the season by limiting its opportunity to use it.

During each season a club will be permitted to return one player from the Reserve/Injured List to its 53-player Active/Inactive List. Such player must have suffered a major football-related injury (defined as an injury that renders the player physically unable to practice or play football for a period of at least six weeks [42 calendar days] from the date that the injury occurred) after reporting to training camp and must have been placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on the Tuesday after the final roster reduction. A player who is eligible to return must be noted as "Designated for Return" at the time the player is placed on Reserve.

I don't like it either. They should make exceptions for QBs IMO. Right now it is what it is.
