Small-school and small-statured running back Danny Woodhead created a stir on the second day of the draft. Though not selected in any of the seven rounds, he was signed by the Jets as a free agent.
Woodhead’s career with the Jets is over, at least for now. The team announced that Woodhead was waived on Saturday, with a designation of injured. Absent an injury settlement, he’ll be eligible to file a grievance that would enable him to potentially recover the full rookie minimum salary for 2008.
Woodhead set NCAA single-season and career rushing records at Chadron State in Chadron, Nebraska. He suffered a knee injury at practice on Friday, and left the field via cart.

Per league rules, a rookie has to be waived before the team can put him on injured reserve. He will be put on IR once he clears waivers.

uhhh…NO. So you are telling me if Darren McFadden tears an ACL then the Raiders have to WAIVE HIM (where the Dolphins can pick him up for a $100 waiver fee) before they can IR him? I’ve never heard of anything like that and it makes ZERO sence.

That makes ZERO sence. You are telling me that if Darren McFadden tears an ACL this week, the Raiders must release him, let him clear waivers (which he would not. The Dolphins would pick him up for $100 waiver fee), then re-sign him and put him on IR?
Its just not true.
