There are probably sports medicine experts on other franchises or perhaps even other contact sports with some good ideas as to what works. Better to deal with the experts on the subject. I would also develop some type of durability rating system when scouting players. Players who are hurt a lot in college don't tend to become more durable. Injury prone players usually don't become stars because they're hurt so often but their unavailability hurts depth and takes up valuable draft picks. I would also like to see a study that compares injuries with cumulative changes in the schedule from the one week between games standard. Are teams that have more Thursday, Saturday and Monday games getting more injuries due to insufficient recovery? While that's ultimately a league issue, if that would prove to be the case, teams like Detroit (3 Thursday games this year) and Green Bay whose schedule is a complete cluster*** seem to be getting plenty of injuries.</blockquote>
