The alarming revelation appears when you evaluate the disparity of proportions between anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries of these play type groupings. Confirmed ACL injuries account for 19.2% of the knee injuries that transpired on kickoffs and punts compared to 6.9% during other plays (alpha= 0.05, p < .01).
I’m not saying it’s good or bad or either. I’m saying it’s dumb to risk it. Why? Sign someone off the street ffs:
But how many were returners? I don’t have a dog in this fight but blockers/gunners get injured all the time on returns
Wouldn’t even let him do that. Chances he actually makes a difference on that play are slim.
Selling soybean oil slop is not good.
My comment was based on what was posted, "The risk of his career ending on a punt return aren't so high that this is an undue risk". The truth is that the risk of injury is disproportionally greater on kick and punt returns. More importantly, it is the type of injuries, predominantly head and knee. How many of the top receivers in the NFL are also returning punts?
Lots. Lots I tell you!

I wondered why Roschon Johnson didn't play on Saturday. Ditto for Colin Johnson when I thought I saw Nsimba Webster with the 2nd team.
I would offer that the risk of a season ending injury is great enough that you shouldn't throw a starting player out there. But for a rookie, who is the third WR on this team, you are giving him an extra 3-4 touches a game. If he is objectively better than the next man up, and doing well with those extra touches, then I think it is worth the risk.
think he got hurt in the HoF game
I thought I saw Collin Johnson on the kickoff coverage unit to start the game. Could have sworn I saw a tall #80 out there for us.
I read it "felon" at first and was wondering what signing Jaylon Hutchings had to do with removing @Black Rainbow 's ankle monitor.x.com
Felton released to make room for the new DT.
Maybe.
When I see "felon" now, I think of the SU-57.
