How do teams handle players with season ending injuries?

Hope your Practice Squad guys and street free agents can step up if you don't have depth.

This is why people saying "we should trade away player Y because we can't play them all" is so short-sighted.

So many teams need quality depth. Some teams are talent-top-heavy and losing one or two key players just doom them.
 
Do the injured cats keep going to the facility every day for rehab until they’re released then?
 
Depends on the injury; some are allowed to rehab away from the team but I think it depends on the type of injury.

If it's a season-ender they are allowed to rehab on their own. If it's a short-term IR injury, they probably still attend meetings and are around the facilities a lot while unable to play.

Last season Jamal Adams rehabbed away from the team because it was known he would not be able to return that season.
