How does Injured Reserve IR slot work on ESPN Fantasy Football?

In ESPN Fantasy Football, the Injured Reserve (IR) slot allows you to place players who are officially designated as injured, freeing up a roster spot for active players. To use the IR slot, a player must be listed as "out" or have a designated injury status by their NFL team. Once a player is moved to IR, you can add another player to your roster without exceeding the league's roster limit. However, you cannot place a player in the IR slot if they are not officially marked as injured by their team.
