And some huge names as well. Saquon, Nick Bosa, a couple of QBs in lock, Jimmy G, etc.Anyone ever see Pearl Harbor, the 2001 movie that was both terribly bad and terribly long? When Kate Beckinsale had to triage people with lipstick? That’s gonna be the NFL infirmary tomorrow.
That’s how you know it doesn’t really have anything to do with no preseasonWith the way that this season is going we may actually need an Injury Thread part 2!
This was very much what I expected to happen, but the level of severe injuries is just crazy. I was expecting a lot of hamstrings and other muscle pulls/strains/sprains. Not torn ACL's and busted shoulders.
I was attributing it more to being no full training camps/OTA's than the lack of actual pre-season games. Outside of a handful of practices these guys are jumping straight into full game speed. Whenever I tore my ACL (non-contact) in 2014 my doctor and Physical Therapist told me that playing sports after long-term inactivity can greatly increase the risk factor. I went all summer without playing any sports and then jumped right into full-speed hockey one day a week. Without any kind of regular conditioning it left my body more susceptible to injury. I am guessing that this is similar to what is happening with these guys.That’s how you know it doesn’t really have anything to do with no preseason
