To allow someone IR a player at any point in the season, as long as they'd been on the injury list at some point prior, seems to be manipulation. Period.

Wow, not so trigger-happy. The rules clearly say "any injury report." You are already prepared to accuse of manipulation someone who will try to follow the rules? And if you choose to disregard this part of the rules because it doesn’t agree with your common sense, how do I know you won’t disregard any other part when you decide it doesn’t say what you think it should say? That's a very slippery slope.

For what it's worth, note that I don’t think your common sense is the problem here – it is that, long time ago, not enough thought was given to formulating the rules. They should still be respected, though.
