The Thursday injury thing is all confirmation bias. People always jump to it when someone gets injured on a Thursday but don't say anything when someone gets hurt on a Sunday or Monday.
The fact is that football is a violent sport and players will get injured.
I think over time, it has actually averaged out, but about 6 years ago, an article came out that Thursday games have the least amount of injuries per game. A Sunday game after a bye, meaning the maximum amount of rest, had the most injuries.
