From 2018-22, FCS postseason games counted toward the four games. Now, they will not.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An example of this is a true freshman playing in four or fewer games during the regular season, and then being able to play in the postseason and still maintain his redshirt, making him a redshirt freshman the next year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another example could be a fourth-year senior who hasn&#8217;t redshirted yet. Let&#8217;s say he has missed most of his senior year due to injury. He could return late in the year, play in four or fewer regular-season games, and then keep playing in the postseason and not burn that season toward his years of eligibility, allowing him to redshirt and return as a redshirt senior.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-past-daily-doses\">Past Daily Doses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NDSU\u2019s Wisniewski To Miss \u2018Significant Amount Of Time\u2019 Due To Injury + Montana State Gets 1st FCS Over FBS Win Of 2024 &#8230; <a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fcs-ndsu-wisniewski-injury-montana-state-fbs-win-bzbz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>10 Most Valuable FCS Players In 2024 \u2026&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fcs-10-most-important-players-in-2024-bzbz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FCS Teams Playing The Worst FBS Teams In 2024 + FCS Championship Game Tickets \u2026&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/herosports.com\/fcs-playing-worst-fbs-teams-bzbz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">READ MORE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The&nbsp;FCS&nbsp;Daily Dose is a blog-style article series featuring an assortment of news, rumblings, quick hitters, and commentary on various topics.
