My original suggestion was about being able to put players on the injured reserve that don't have a "zero" health. It's frustrating when a position gets a couple injuries at the end of the season and your top 2 have 6+ week injuries when there is only a couple weeks left in the season.

I've recently had to play with unhealthy players and another time had to drop a player I would've liked to keep in order to field enough players.

I'd like IR to be per normal NFL (non covid19) rules; as in the 8 wk option, etc and et. al.
As a complete side note and/or perhaps addition: In no way do I want to see a practice squad as FA's are way too limited regardless of league age (edit:/ non AI GMs). Fixing IR, in my very humble opinion and complete acknowledgement of the OP, is a priority for the release after the next (that would be 4.7).
