Do NFL Players On IR (Injured Reserve) Count Against the Salary Cap
Yes, NFL players on the injured reserve list (IR) count against the salary cap.
Once the season has started, any player on either the 53-man roster, injured reserve list, and even the practice squad counts against the salary cap.
Players do typically get paid while on injured reserve, but depending on their contract details, they may not be paid their full non-guaranteed salary. Regardless of what is paid out, though, the full salary cap hit is accounted for on the team cap sheet, regardless of health status.
That’s why it’s so challenging for banged-up NFL teams to make in-season adjustments – a huge deal of their cap room is not producing.
