What does a player receive for an accrued season if he is on injured reserve and has received at least how many games of pay?

A player receives credit for an accrued season if they have spent at least six games on the roster in a particular season, including those on injured reserve. This means that to qualify for an accrued season while on injured reserve, the player must have received pay for at least six games. This rule ensures that the player is recognized for their commitment and contributions to the team during the season they were injured, aligning with the NFL's collective bargaining agreement guidelines.

Receiving pay for six games demonstrates a sufficient level of participation, even if the player is not active due to injury, and accounts for the time they were officially part of the roster before their injury occurred. Thus, option C correctly identifies the minimum requirement for a player on injured reserve to receive an accrued season.
