That's why the NFL has given each team a 3 week window of preparing a player as much as possible, without those drills, to return to game readiness, when they come off IR. It's not enough to build up the stamina needed to compete on every down. Even conditioned players are given downs off, spelled by substitutes at times. Look at how they handled Clay Matthews near the end of his time in GB. They only used him on downs where he was most needed, to conserve his energy level to compete to his fullest on those downs. Also, by doing this, you reduce the potential for injuries. Both for aggravation of the previous injury, or the potential for a new one.Just my opinion, based on my own experience.</blockquote>
