Just seeing Joe Burrow’s out for the year now and it’s been brutal. How many backup QBs have started games? Is it a NFL modern record?

Aaron Rodgers out for year Kirk Cousins out for year Daniel Jones out for year Deshaun Watson out for year Joe Burrow out for year

Not to mention Justin Fields, Matt Stafford, Kyler Murray, etc. who have been banged up

Thursday night games. More regular season games. Shortened pre-season. All things the NFL did to add $$ but they have increased the injury risk to players including the QB.

Don’t forget the trips to Europe cutting prep and recovery time down by a day half. Jet lag is terrible.

Just rolling out “increased injury risk” and listing things doesn’t mean it’s true.

The 17th game certainly adds injury risk by volume but the real two things at play have always been at play 1) NFL football games are just insanely hard on bodies 2) recency bias, we forget the last injuries once their present impact is over.

How does one less preseason game increase injury risk?

[–] JaydedXoX@alien.top 1 points 11 months ago

Less conditioning mandatory, less hitting practice before first live game.

Thursday night games should not be a thing. Never should have.

Exactly- the only thing I need to know about TNF is that if there were numbers showing injury increase they would be ALL OVER every time a major players gets hurt on TNF. But instead it’s just radio silence with the actual numbers.
