Not gonna lie, haven't read the article yet but keep in mind when it comes to injuries the same guys end up injured year in and year out for us adding to the numbers. Jordan Reed, Chris Thompson, Trent Williams, etc are all guys we expect to be injured every year. Fact is once you're injured chances are you can get injured again a bit easier.

At the same time there are guys that say they have no issues with the training staff.

As Muto has said … some of these guys are oft injured. Reed, Trent, CT, Colt. Who here thinks Colt could make it through half a season without getting injured.

The NFL has come a long way, guys used to hurry back years ago even when they were still injured because they thought they were going to lose their job. I wouldn't be shocked if they still rush some players.

Ryan Kerrigan has not missed even one game in 8 seasons - pretty impressive especially when you consider the amt of effort & the hitting he delivers every week.

The NFL may have changed, but according to the article, and what we know, the redskins sure do seem to be downplaying injuries and rushing players back to the field before they are fully healthy / ready to play.

Like B Mitch always says, you cant blame the infections after surgery on the redskins training staff. Those things take place in a hospital and Washington has nothing to do with it. Its not like the guy who tapes their ankles is the same guy doing surgery.

Yep - like most things there are not clear cut causes for most issues. Ditto for things like someone falling on someone's leg or getting hurt due to a hard hit. Everyone wants to state these simplistic reasons for injuries, but it is not that simple & again - like it or not - luck is a major factor.

I seem to recall Dr James Andrews of Birmingham Al being both on staff for the Redskins and performing surgeries on various Redskins.

Also, B Mitch knows vastly more about this than I do.

I dont think its an easy diagnosis, that’s for sure. As a layman and an outsider however, the evidence seems pretty stark to me...

Infections are caused by bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, parasites, and prions, not medical staff. It has become a wide spread problem in hospitals.

Couple new members I see springing up. Good to have those that left back on board. Now that we're a family again, onward we go to a pretty concerning season ahead.

Infections are also caused, at their root, by dr error, misdiagnosis, and incorrect treatment.

Like everything else in life, overly simplistic answers are often incorrect. I agree that hospitals have seen a rise in the amount of post-surgical infections.

Yeah, I like the term they used "hospital acquired" not Redskin medical staff. :D
