Understanding Injuries in the NFL Part 2

This is the second installment of a series exploring what actually correlates to injuries in the NFL, based on a series of articles by Zach Binney of Football Outsiders.

Although this is a look at NFL injuries in general, it may contain nuggets useful to understanding the Redskins injury situation. This installment has several sections each trying to answer a specific question:

  • How much are injuries actually rising in the NFL and how much is due to better reporting?
  • Did the CBA have an impact on injury rates by limiting practice time?
