Yes, we're in a different approach to football. But that doesn't mean all change is a good idea. By this time in the next 24 to 48 hours, the NFL will have to rethink about having less preseason games or none at all. This isn't a season where you can blindly say bad luck. Things are very strange, but we need tune ups to get some rust off of some of these players.
The fact that ACL injuries are the feared ones in Saquon Barkley and Nick Bosa, that's a good indication of how terrible injuries are. Last week, Marlon Mack and Blake Jarwin suffered season ending injuries. And the numbers keep piling up. Concussions, ankle injuries, hamstrings. One would think to take it with a grain of salt, but the lack of facing any opponents in August. That should be a huge warning sign. San Francisco lost a few key guys on offense to add with their defensive end Bosa being hurt.
Other teams include the Packers with a few guys. Carolina losing Christian McCaffrey. Concussion or worse for Sammy Watkins and Kansas City. Regardless of severity, it's big name players. One last thing I'll talk is that we're going to see more of this pile up for the next couple of weeks. Anything after the start of October or the middle of it will be coincidence. Until then, it's anyone's guess who the next person is going to suffer the next severe injury. You hope it doesn't happen, but only a matter of when and who.
