Not until it's a permanent rule. It was only instituted last year for Covid and has only been extended for this year so far.

That and manual injuries hopefully.

I think he's talking about the IR for 3 weeks thing... When placed on IR during the season, eligible to return after 3 weeks.

Right - that’s part of the temporary rule.

Prior to COVID a player who was placed on IR had to stay there for 8 weeks.

They still don't have things caught up from the CBA change a year ago. No chance they do something temporary like this. Would be great, but probably not worth the time investment for them.

I believe the injured reserve (two players can return after eight weeks) and practice squad rules (up to 12 players) are mostly correct to the letter of the current Collective Bargaining Agreement. The one thing missing defined by the CBA is that there is no game-day call-ups from the practice squad in Madden. In real life, the CBA allows teams to call up two practice squad members for game day.

The 2020 COVID exceptions carried over into the 2021 season don't count as part of the CBA. I think that's what Kehlis is getting at; don't expect Madden to add in the COVID exceptions (anyone can return from IR after three weeks, 16-man practice squads, teams may protect on a weekly basis four practice squad members from signing with other teams, up to six veterans on practice squads) until they become actual rules and not one-year exceptions.
