At least it seems like there are more and more injuries before the start of each year. Best of luck this year, Glyn. Minn. Injuries are always going to be a part of football. Physics and common sense show there is a high probability of injury that can occur when you have big men, fast men and strong men colliding into one another. This preseason is no different.
Players do take their conditioning and preparation in the off-season very seriously.
Players are constantly getting bigger, stronger and faster. That means that the collisions are going to be greater and the injuries will be greater. I am thankful that I have not been seriously injured, but all that any player can do is prepare the best he knows how, and get on his knees and pray. It would be foolish to think that football players are not going to get hurt. We don't nee a psychic to predict that probability.
