Poor family, does anyone know if these guys still get paid at all when they are stuck on IR like he was?

As far as I know, yes. They still get paid when on Injured Reserve.

Yes. When put on IR it allows the team to have an extra roster slot and the player continues to receive his pay as if he were playing less any performance based bonuses of course. The team keeps him as their player and he's done for the remainder of the season.

RIP to such a young, promising athlete. :(

Even worse that he had a young child. Suicide really bothers me... Sad stuff

I haven't heard a single thing about this on any other websites, or even the news. Weird.
