Historical Context

In 1993, the NFL introduced a roster regulation allowing teams to place up to 12 players on injured reserve, transforming injury management strategies. This change followed the Philadelphia Eagles' struggles that season, where injuries to key players like Randall Cunningham led to an 8-8 record.
