It clears a spot on the line though as it would have been tough for him to make it, and you want to see all draft picks get a shot.

At some point you have to reevaluate what you're doing and how you're doing it. Maybe change/increase the stretching and flexibility regimen or something? Shouldn't have this many guys go down with torn pecs before the season even starts.

If you look at case studies from various sources, you'll see the amount of pec injuries around the NFL is growing at an exponential rate.  It's a league wide issue, not just a team issue.

A big issue is that a lot of athletes are training at various training centers for "elite athletes"  in the off-season and most of the trainers at those places are the people that couldn't get hired on in an NFL or major college strength and conditioning program.  Wayne's, for example, hadn't even signed his contract yet.
