The strength and conditioning staff better update the resume because I would fire all of their *****. There is no way you can win in this league with that many injuries.

While I agree, there's also some onus on the players for their off-season conditioning. The teams can only do so much due to the collective bargaining agreements. These players just don't want to put in the off-season work. most are there to get paid, not win. That being said, yeah, the strength and conditioning staff don't seem to be doing their jobs right.

Yeah, most of it comes from people like you who refuse to acknowledge reality. You can't tell me there aren't less injuries after the CBA was negotiated.

Good to see Kneeland as a full participant.

Looks like we'll see Diggs and Bland for the first time since the Jets game last year.

You have zero proof any of that is true. Our injury list looked nothing like this the past 3 years, so the staff didn’t magically get so bad that they are even perky to blame for that injuries.

The speculation that occurs on the Fan Zone devolves into the obtuse so regularly that I can’t help but feel that our fan base just isn’t that smart.

As w/last week...folks we gotta learn how to read "injury reports". Get smarter!

Teams are obligated to list every bent toe-nail that might possibly result in a missed game.

Listing six players that were "Full" in practice? Those guys will all play.

The "Limited"? Half or more usually play.

Yes I'm not sure how it can go on notice but I'm guessing there's been 18 players minimum that have had injuries this year most of them on at least 2 to 8 weeks and a few that were more Sam Williams out for the year Prescott out for the year Martin now out for the year he was never really playing that well the last three weeks somehow we've improved without him but this is 2020 all over again and that's why I'm confident we'll bounce back next year just like we did in 2021 and just like we did after 2015 but 2020 it's like a mirror image of this year..

Just like everyone want the tank and getting mad when they ran out Dalton and one like what 3 of the last four games or something I can't remember but they were really mad but somehow we ended up winning 36 games two division titles and went to the playoff three straight years after twenty 20s debacle with the injuries..

But much like 2015 we try to use running back by committee we lost our quarterback blah blah blah we had some injuries and then the very next year we got Ezekiel Elliott so let's hope with a new coaching staff or hopefully a new coaching staff with a new vision with all the players coming back off injury a good offseason would be back at it..

Doesn't change the fact that we've had about 18 real injuries at very key positions some of them were full attrition like lost all four starters at pass rush a lot of corners just key players just in and out of the lineup a lot of them are out anywhere from two weeks to 8 weeks or more I mean we lost Sam Williams and bland before the season even started...

So it's not just about the reports this year is 2020 all over again it's been a battle of attrition and it's hard to keep your head above water when you have this many injuries...
