even undrafted rookies? Is everyone injured in a game or practice still paid their full annual salary? What about if they can't play every again? How does all that work for the injured individual and for the team, especially cap wise?
Bonus Question: Do elephants enjoy playing football?

I know that sometimes an injury settlement is required to release a player from the team/ir, but there is plenty I don't know about contracts and financial assurance in regards to undrafted guys in the preason. I imagine it can be a precarious situation with plenty of uncertainty... at least that's the way it is for me.
Bonus Answer: Elephants play football, but they don't enjoy it.

No elephants do not enjoy football. It doesn't occur in their natural habitat, nor is it essential to survival, and so if they do it its because a human is withholding food as a reward.

That is true, unfortunately not only is food/lack of food used as an incentive, but sometimes elephants are forced to play football under threat of physical harm to their loved ones. The disproportionate application of this "method" to asian elephants when compared to african elephants is the reason for the protests we've seen before many of their games. |

It depends on the player. UDFA Minimum is repairing the injury. Kind of like workers comp. and some type of settlement. Draftees are taken care of a bit better, keep the signing bonus, probably game week checks and rehab. Which includes a diet and fitness program at the team facility.. after that, it depends on the contract and protections afforded through the CBA.

I guess Detroit would be their hated rival  Certainly, Lions are a natural rivalry. Less attention, though, is given to their on-field "friends". Oxpickers are well known as the birds that eat parasites off the elephants in exchange for a free meal, however they also serve an important football function. Since Elephants have trouble turning their heads quickly, the screams of the birds at approaching predators alerts the QB as to when to release the ball. |

I read that oprah bought the elephants radio helmets for this but that the oxpickers union protested by poop-bombing the teachers and students at the school she built...  |

For major injuries like a torn ACL, the player receives his base salary for the season. For minor injuries, teams evaluate the player's long term potential or benefit to the team vs. the amount of time it takes to rehab the injury. If the team feels like the benefit is not worth the wait they typically will offer the player an injury settlement. The settlement amount is typically the prorated amount of their salary for the projected number of weeks it takes for the injury to heal. Injured players are free to sign with another team after their injury heals. And players that receive injury settlements from their teams are prohibited from re-signing with their releasing teams for a period of six weeks after the number of weeks projected for the injury to heal.
