So I looked up what an NFI (non football injury) designation really means from a playing standpoint and here's what I found
[
en.wikipedia.org]
Players on the reserve/non-football injury or reserve/non-football illness lists are ineligible to practice or play in games for the first six weeks of the regular season.
After six weeks, a player can begin practicing with their team but cannot be moved to the active roster until after the team has played its first eight games of the season. When a player starts practicing, a three-week window begins in which the player can be moved to the active roster. If a player does not get activated after the three-week window ends, they must remain on the reserve/NFI list for the rest of the season. Only up to two players from the NFI lists are eligible to return to the active roster for each NFL team.[1] NFL teams are not required to pay base salaries to players placed on the reserve/non-football injury or reserve/non-football illness lists
So the minimum for Ashawn is 8 weeks. To be honest, I got this from Jourdan Rodrique on her 11 Personnel podcast.
