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

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.
