Sturgis sustains hamstring injury playing kickball

When a player sustains a freak injury, hindsight is our best friend.

Miami Dolphins kicker Caleb Sturgis hurt his quadriceps during a team-organized kickball game and will be sidelined through June 18—the end of offseason practices—according to Barry Jackson of The Miami Herald.

Jackson said the issue shouldn’t affect Sturgis’ status for training camp.

“Sturgis will resume activity in two to three weeks and is optimistic about being ready for training camp, barring a setback.”

As people start to catch wind of the story, please remember something important: If the Dolphins played kickball nine more times, Sturgis would more than likely avoid an injury nine times.
