Cowboys lead all NFL teams for players on IR

Since 2002 with 53.

Bob Sturm mentioned this the other day and I did not realize it. Thats a whole football team. Thought it was interesting.

Hmm...that is interesting. It might be some sort of tactic to keep the best of the best.

granted, they put Romo on IR before the last game of the season a couple ago which seemed silly but we have had our fair share of injuries, that is for sure

Seems like an odd time frame to specify.

Why are we looking at "since 2002"?

I would think it would make sense to look at certain coaching regimes or maybe periods where we had certain trainers on staff. Then maybe actual conclusions could be drawn.

I thought so as well. After the past 13 years at least we lead in something!

I would have to see an actual list of the players. The Cowboys have been known to draft injured players with upside and stash them on IR. They've also put players on IR who were bubble players but ones they would like to keep around and develop, even though they probably didn't have season ending injuries.

I think Lee counts for at least 3 or those right? And yes, I'm being serious

 

[Nav22]

The correct stat is 53 since 2013, not since 2002.

2012 and 2014 he was on IR I believe. I think 2013 he missed 4 or 5 games with a hamstring injury but dont think he was on IR.

I can't even keep up. Last year, and a wrist (in which I couldn't believe they didn't club it), and....

Garrett took over 5 years ago. Woicik took over three years ago. I am interested in timeframes based on real events to the active participants I'm interested in evaluating. 13 years seems cherry picked.

Sounds like were running a mash unit

the biggest over exaggerated hire is Woicik. Some gomers here were making all sorts of idiot claims once he came back. Frankly I have noticed little change.

They started holding players out for more minor bumps and bruises and doing extended rehab his second season here. They also changed their pretraining stretch and some other things that I have heard of.

If people are making claims about results that is one thing but I like the work Woicik has been doing. The gains of DLaw, Patmon, Hanna, Randle and Escobar these last couple of years have been tremendous. Claiborne's recovery is another feather in his cap.

Part of that is from intentionally stashing players like Whaley who was injured when drafted. It appears they might do it again this year with the 7th round LB.

Britt Brown is the Director of Rehabilitation for the Cowboys and has more to do with Claiborne's recovery than Mike Woicik I would think. If you want to separate the mass gains/strength from injury recovery than yea I'd say that Woicik has done a good job with guys like DLaw and Patmon. However, for guys like Sean Lee and Claiborne, Britt has been there every step of the way during their recoveries.

 

[Vinnie2u]

Its all Matt johnsons fault....

 

[big dog cowboy]

The defense from '12 and '13 had to contribute to that list big time.

 

[Bullflop]

If the Cowboys are among the forefront of the teams that conduct the most intense practices, it would only seem reasonable that the number of injuries would tend to reflect that situation.

H-m-m, then again, it just struck me that they also appear to be among the teams most willing to welcome players with a career history of injuries, whether in college or the professional ranks.
