YoloinOhio Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) What horrible weekend for injuries Saquon Barkley, Nick Bosa, Solomon Thomas, Courtland Sutton, out for year with torn ACLs Plus mccaffrey out several weeks with high ankle sprain Edited September 21, 2020 by YoloinOhio 2
Saxum Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 IMO the reason for so many injuries is lack of formal training camp and preseason. Yes they had virtual ones where they had nutrition and training go over issues with players over video but not the same. Lack of equipment during off season is also reason - having the best training equipment is why Bills invested in facilities. I am sure NFLPA disagrees. They want preseason and training camps reduced as much as possible and they always have. 10 1 2
GoBills808 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 McCaffrey I believe is being held out in an attempt by Panthers to get to #1 overall Unfortunately that already belongs to Jets
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 More money at the cost of the players health. I make less but it is the same song and dance at my company as well. The we appreciate you speech with stay safe and oh by the way we are increasing your work load 30% and still want you to be safe. 1 1
Rubes Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 It's true any year, but this year in particular...whoever gets through the season with the fewest key injuries will be the last one standing. 3

Players workload over the summer were greatly reduced and it shows in tackling. Facts do not match what you are saying. 1

If they keep Gase I imagine they trade out
Gigs Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 This is why training camps and preseason is integral to the growth of a team, and keeps players fit and conditioned.
Jerome007 Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 No doubt months of so little contact impacted that. I say "no doubt" but while I haven't followed the NHL playoffs for the very first time since I'm a teen, I have not heard of an injury galore. Has there been one? I thought they too would suffer a lot more injuries, going from being idle to all-out playoff hockey. But I haven't heard such. Point is, it might coincidence but yeah, no preseason and so little contact in camp could be the culprit, of course.

Each one of those guys is a big-time contributor to his team. We all love watching this game, and I'm regularly reminded that what we're watching is a stylized version of war. Boxing and MMA are more directly violent, one on one, but football is like watching two armies in battle. Part of what makes it similar to watching a battle is that the combatants actually are at risk. Weekends like this make that risk all the more apparent. 1
shane nelson Posted September 21, 2020 Posted September 21, 2020 I never understood why the NFL does not mandate that all players wear knee braces. I know they say its speed and the ability to cut, but if all the players had braces it would be an equalizer. Perhaps a more modified brace for the skilled positions. If they made it a mandate the technology would evolve.

THe hamstrin Point is, it might coincidence but yeah, no preseason and so little contact in camp could be the culprit, of course. I think you're correct, particularly the ACLs. There is very little training that anyone can do to help avoid ACLs, and what can be done is primarily strength conditioning, which can be done anywhere, anytime. Torn ACLs are about applying just the right amount of stress at just the right angle. It's a combination of events that you can't train for or prepare for. A lot of torn ACLs are non-contact injuries. This weekend was just a bad weekend. The hamstrings, shoulders, other stuff may be more directly related to this year's training regimens. 5
