This is exactly why the NFL needs to loosen the injured reserve and roster rules. The league has always been open to addressing the rules in order to adapt to the changes of the game. Injuries to just one player can ruin a team especially late in the season during the playoff hunt. Being able to replace Patten's roster spot while he was injured, and then allowing him to return when healthy would have done wonders for us.
It's an arcane rule that needs to be changed. Why doesn't that come up in the owner meetings?
