This year we've had 5 ACL/knee + the short term knee injuries to Gio and Mixon that's unusually high. This season Atlanta has been devastated in the DB group. Washington has 13 players on IR which doesn't include those niggling injuries. NE also has 13 on IR including projected regulars Hill and Burkhead plus 3 WRs. Baltimore is beat up on the OL. Its the nature of the game.
This.
Injuries are not the teams fault. We just don't notice the injuries to other teams. Players get bigger and faster every year, but bones, muscles, and conective tissue don't get any more durable.
Every year hundreds on NFL players suffer terrible injuries. And at the same time fat dudes sitting at their computer desks complain about the "pussification" of the NFL.

Brandon Bell hasn't looked too shabby since he had snaps against Baltimore last year. I was surprised that he didn't make the roster over Nickerson this year.

This just gives us more of an excuse to force the ball to Ross and Tate.

Mixon is participating in Friday's walk-through
Green, Vigil, and Brown all on rehab field.
They will play Green even without a practice if he can go on Sunday. I suspect they would do they same with Brown simply because of the thin ranks at LB
Fueled by the pursuit of greatness.
