The NFL’s All-IR and All-Suspended Teams

The regular season has yet to start and there’s already been a ridiculous amount of attrition in these regards–so much, in fact, that we can almost fill out an entire starting lineup each with only players on IR and then players on a suspension.  Unfortunately, the overturning of Tom Brady’s suspension really hurt the cause of the All-Suspended team.  I guess they can run a bunch of the Wildcat and the wishbone offense, then?

Please keep in mind that these players may be competing against each other and these are my initial observations. Without further ado,
