The NFL will continue using the 2020 COVID IR rules this year and because of that, the Miami Dolphins roster should benefit.

According to a memo sent out by the NFL, teams will be able to bring back an unlimited amount of players from IR designation and they can do so while only having players on IR for three weeks.
