Hey, everyone. Solved an odd one today in our league. As we already know, if you don't head into a game sim with enough players active, the AI will fill in enough for you to get you up to the minimum required.
What we learned today, however, was that the sim will pull players who are listed on IR for the season as part of this effort to get you up to minimum. The player in question has been on IR since Preseason 2 and has recovered from injury since, we just had Game 7, and he's appeared in two games now, including for 21 snaps today.
