I have never seen an injury season like this. I feel like I write that every week, but it has become clearer every week! I hope this is not the start of a trend. Many in the NFL are worried about the number of impact injuries to star players that we've seen this year.
Mike Mayock of NFL Network told me last week he believes you can blame the reduced training schedules. Jeff Legwold of ESPN told me he thinks it's due to the new type of athletes playing this game: Bigger, faster, stronger and moving at an incredible pace.
