Resolution criteria

• Each answer is a specific NFL player for the 2025 season. It resolves YES if either:

  • The player’s team or the NFL publicly states he is “out for the season” due to injury, or places him on an injury-related reserve list (Reserve/Injured, Reserve/PUP, or Reserve/NFI) and he is not activated to the 53-man roster before his team’s season ends (including playoffs through Super Bowl LX on Feb 8, 2026). Verify via team releases and NFL.com’s 2025 Reserve List transactions. (panthers.com)

  • Preseason injuries count if they end the player’s 2025 season.

• An answer resolves NO if the player returns to the 53-man roster or appears in any 2025 regular-season or postseason game after the injury. If a player returns to the game day roster but doesn't play, it still counts as returning.

• Non-injury absences (suspension, holdout, retirement without injury) resolve NO.

• Sources to use for resolution: NFL.com Transactions (Reserve List), official team announcements, and major outlets’ injury-status pages; IR rules: minimum 4 games; teams can return up to 8 players in the regular season (and up to 10 total with postseason). (nfl.com)

• If reasonably official sources (team releases, Adam Schefter, etc) report a season ending injury, I'll go ahead and resolve "YES". I will not correct this if they return before the end of the season unexpectedly. If it seems in doubt, I'll leave the question unresolved.

Background

• “Season-ending” is often confirmed either explicitly by a team or implicitly when a player remains on IR through the end of his club’s season; not every IR stint is season-ending because players can return after 4 games and within team return limits. (nfl.com)

• 2025 NFL season runs Sep 4, 2025–Jan 4, 2026; postseason concludes with Super Bowl LX on Feb 8, 2026. (en.wikipedia.org)

Feel free to add more players, I will NA any players added to the market after official announcements are already published. So if they go down on Sunday and then a report comes out Tuesday, I'd accept a new option on Monday but not Wednesday.
