Interesting. I didn't know that. One would hope that athletes start figuring out how to strengthen (stretch?) them to keep up with the muscles. I have no idea how to go about doing that or if athletes are doing this now and at what ratio to muscle-building.Mothman wrote: Yes, that is possible.

It struck me kind of funny when I read this ...dead_poet wrote:Then one has to wonder how many more injuries we'll see? The athletes will continuing getting bigger, stronger and faster. And the wear and tear on the bodies will increase, meaning a NFL player's average career life will probably be briefer.
I read something very similar to it once ...
about 20-30 years ago.
The more things change the more they stay the same.

Re: Injury News
I didn't realize you can strengthen tendons either, sounds like they need to start a yoga class. Speaking of stretching, anyone notice Smith always does these kung fu back kicks between plays?

Zimmer just said everyone is playing until he rules them out. Soooo...yeah.PurpleMustReign wrote:Any word on Sendejo?
I've come to understand until he dismisses something as a "minor deal" or whatever that it's more significant than that. I doubt we see Sendejo on Monday night for sure. How long after that is anyone's guess right now.

Yup it's pretty funny. They caught it once or twice in the Eagles game broadcast.PsyDanny wrote: Hit Man Harry? I'll have to watch for that.
Re: Injury News
I think I would show err on the side of caution with McKinnon for Monday and hold him out. Just can't jeopardize further injury.

Re: Injury News
Sendejo and McKinnon are out. Patterson and Sherels questionable.

Boone, Kendricks, and Floyd are out. McKinnon, Sendejo, and Tom Johnson are questionable.

Re: Injury News
Good grief, what is with all the injuries? Are we the,worst injured team,in the league?
I'm beginning to wonder if this is a direct result of players not practicing in pads.
