Did they say he'd be out for awhile? Michael Vick is like our Dan O..

ESPN is saying at least 4.

They has an article a few days ago that said 15% of the players in the NFL were out injured, not including guys just banged up and playing through it like Stafford.

Been a bad year already. That's a HUGE percentage for two games in, and getting worse.

Does it seem like the more the NFL tries to protect players from getting injuried the more injuries?

Your teams are dependent on a QB?

It seems to have started in 2011 with the latest CBA. The players fought for fewer practices, fewer padded practices, no more two-a-days, etc...

Now there are an increasing amount of soft tissue injuries.

For years it seems like players who hold out of camp are more prone to ACLs and hammy's. Now they are all dropping like flies with fewer practices. My guess is tighter muscles, less stretching.

I got bit by the Dez Bryant injury. The crap they were pulling with healthy scratches and limited play counts for Mike Evans, Jeremy Hill, and now with Chris Ivory has been burning me too. I'll check statuses and they'll be listed as 100% and ready to be a big contributor, then they'll get little to no action in the game. Probably going to be 1-2 after tonight.
