Chris Jones injury





Well, this sort of evens us out a bit with Oregon losing their top wide receiver. Here's to hoping he has a full, 100% recovery, or as close to that as possible.
 




This shows how a couple of words can mean a lot of different things. I had a meniscus repaired and it took about two weeks to get back to full speed. Clearly these two are different injuries called the same thing. I guess slang terms differ from medical ones.

Me, too. I was told it wasn't a big deal. Thirty years later I'm bone on bone, though.
 
Tough loss. This season can't start soon enough in order to avoid more preseason injuries.

We will be challenged this season.

- loose top defensive player to injury, check
- first year of new scheme, check
- need develop pass rush, check

- new starter at qb, check
- new starter at rb, check
- graduated top 3 wr and top returning receiver will be suspended one or two games, check


And yet I'm very optimistic! What else can we do? :)

Knee injuries are the most common injury in football. The rate of injuries during games is 8.5x greater than the rate in practices, but since players have 11x more practices than games during a season, practice injuries are a bit more common.

A football injury study was done for the 1986 and 1987 football seasons. There was a combined total of 6,229 players in the study, with 445,856 Athletic Exposures (AEs). An AE is a practice session or a game.

Of the AEs, 410,165 (92.0%) occurred in practices and 35,691 in games (8.0%). A total of 2,820 injuries were reported, for an overall injury rate of 6.32/1,000 AEs, or 45.27/100 players.

The rate in practices was 3.93/1,000 AEs; in games, 33.68/1,000 AEs. Thus the injury rate was 8.6 times higher in games than in practices (in which 57.1% of total injuries occurred). This major difference in injury rate between competition and practice is consistent with most other sports that have been studied (1-3).
