This is gonna be a long thread.....
Was thinking just mostly significant injuries or injuries to bigger named players.
I believe our wide receivers currently have the biggest names

Damn you, Mark Lovat. You are a scourge on the NFL landscape.
LA chargers TE Hunter Henry out for season torn ACL
And the already watched Jason Verrett go down.
Trade Hundley to the Chargers and let them convert him to TE.
In the Lombardi days they did two-a-days, burpees etc all in pads with full contact practice.
I don't recall any season enders...
That was before they discovered acls....

They either rubbed some dirt on it or shook it off
I am anxious about Kevin King. He played solid corner until his injury last year, such as holding his own one on one against Julio Jones. Some have predicted him to have a break out year. His position is so important and his playing style just what the doctor ordered (physical with the receiver from the get-go). 6'3" 205 pounds with a lot of length.
So it is his other shoulder. I saw one article that quoted him saying he'll be fine and it said he'd return sometime during the preseason. Sometime during the preseason?
Anyway, I am anxious about him and of course sure hope he is going to be OK.

Bigger, stronger and faster! Today’s young men workout in gyms, take supplements and train year round. In the old days they worked at a job or simply did little or nothing football related.
An Anthropologist friend once told me that we have pushed our monkey body to its limits.
That's why I'm saving up for a new robot body.
I can do this all day

A lot of purple on that thing. I think that is what the Suckqueens will look like on about game 9.

Thanks for the robot gifs, just made my day.

That was before cell phones, twitter, and facebook too.
They did tape ankles though. It was a fine if you didn't get them taped in Lombardi's world. I don't think many get them taped these days. Players today want any advantage they can get.

Yup, I agree with the bigger, stronger, faster, and year around conditioning being a contributing factor to bodies pushing the envelope to the max.
Back then these guys were carousers!
Some worked offseason gigs and some didn't.
They pretty much arrived in camp in halfassed shape and started over.
CAROUSERS ROCK!

basketball coach in college insisted everyone get ankles taped every time. I didn't keep up well with shaving ankles thus I've been ankle hair free since '88.
and I agree with bvan. and this has been discussed somewhere someplace before, but I do believe specialization plays a role as well, the whole 'keep 'em fresh' philosophy. you didn't have all the constant substituting back in the day. the players wore down at the same rate during a game and you gutted it out together. now you might get a jacked DL in the 4th quarter who's had all of 5 snaps all day going against a RB or OL that's worked their ass off all day. whoops there goes another ACL...
and beer, they need to drink more beer, and liquor is quicker.
Pats 1st Rounder, G Isaiah Wynn, done for the season - torn ACL.
Tyrod Taylor with "a wrist"
Maybe it's Mayfield's team right now.
Fortunately for the young man--he's fine.
Janis sighting.
One reception, one interference call on the guy defending him.
Was he sighted one stadium over from where he was supposed to be playing?
