Injuries

[Faux Sean Callahan]

is spring ball just that much more physical this year?

Quite a bit more physical than last year.

Was told they changed practice up a bit.

I don't want to say slowed down, but allowed more time for coaching between plays.

Physicality picked up as well.

Somebody said 43 guys are on the injured list to some degree.

No clue how many is normal, but that feels high

Scott Frost said it. That’s over 30% of the roster....in the spring.

That’s a lot. Kinda makes you wonder what they are doing in practice and/or what’s going on with strength and conditioning.

I think it’s been well documented that they have been much more physical this year. With the increased physicality naturally comes more injuries.

Over 30% of the roster??

I think they combined your typical bumps and bruises and being held out for precautionary reasons into the total. I don’t think that’s an unreasonable amount of “injuries” for a football team in the spring.

A lot of it was just precautionary or light bumps and bruises. 15 practices over a 5 week period, you can sit out 1 or 2 practices and essentially have 3-9 days off depending when those practices were in the week. There were only a few injuries that were extended periods of time.
