Tevin Coleman Q this week/Trouble with ESPN IR

Players are eligible when they have been designated IR or O. These designations are provided by teams, not by ESPN/Yahoo/whatever. Players with the IR tag are officially on the team’s injured reserve. Players designated O have been ruled out for the next game. Players that are clearly out for multiple weeks, but not placed in IR may end up retaining that O tag indefinitely. Players that are week to week do not. They get ruled out sometime during the week, up to the start of their game.

Green retains the O because it’s clear and obvious that he’s not coming back this week. Once he reports to a practice, that’ll go to a Q or D and he won’t be eligible for the FF IR slot anymore. If, between that first practice he’s back at and game day, they rule him out, then he will again be eligible for that slot, although you’ll run into the issue that Coleman owners are facing now as he’ll go back to Q or D once the week is over.
