Football Injuries mounting across NFL after two weeks - Page 2

It could be my imagination more than reality but damn it seems like just two weeks in, a lot of teams are losing a lot of key players to injuries and many of them are on offense.

Deebo now out too for 49'ers.

Rams are the Chargers this year and have like 9 guys out or hurt.

Justin Jefferson hurt.

I think this could be a reason for some of this low scoring.

Lot of guys got no preseason reps.

Injuries knock playoff teams out of competition.

Gotta stay healthy......:-)

All these players are going straight from low effort practice to high effort game action.

As long as this trend continues the number of injuries is going to continue to increase.

No argument here. My point is more about how this is just the way it is now, it just so happens that the “casualty” list thus far is more star studded than usual, not necessarily a longer list.

happened a lot a few years ago too. Have to get people in game mode. And they are not. maybe going to 3 games was not smart.

Preseason reps wouldn't have stopped Pacheco from getting his leg bent backward and twisted.

Preseason reps were THE CAUSE of Hollywood getting tackled in just the right position to pop out his collarbone.

Debo injured and out

My one buddy lost w Ravens last week and got knocked out. Said like 70% of the people gone already.

Everybody avoiding the Panthers like the plague.

This is why in suicide (survivor) pools I always pick the third or fourth most popular option the first few weeks. Stuff is always weird the first few weeks and favorites lose.

Those are not soft tissue injuries. Those are injuries that are not preventable.

Soft tissue injuries are almost always caused by significant change in load beyond what they are conditioned for at that time.

And lets all remind people about how Andy does training camp.

Plus, many players on that list have a history of injuries.

It's really bad. Just terrible. Should have just moved the kickoff BACK 10 yards...boom returns again

I have Nacua and CMC , Higgins still somehow managed a win this week but Hollywood being out I think is hurting Mahomes and I can’t start Christian Watson with Willis starting and our league only has a limited waiver wire starting after week three . Luckily it’s ten team league with large bench but this years worse then previous across the league.

This list growing fast and will be dominated by the Chargers.
