“Injuries sustained while a player is working out ‘on his own’ in a location other than an NFL facility are considered ‘Non-Football Injuries’ and are outside the scope of a typical skill, injury and cap guarantee,” the memo also said. “Such injuries are also not covered by the protections found in paragraph 9 of the NFL Player Contract, meaning that clubs have no contractual obligation to provide salary continuation during the year in which the injury was sustained.”

Yes it looks like you guys are correct.  I thought the 5th yr option being fully guaranteed was an exception that was added in latest cba.  I thought it being fully guaranteed rather than the standard contracts that are not guaranteed for injury at all protected players from the non football injuries where salaries were not guaranteed. No nfl contract is truly fully guaranteed if player gets hurt outside nfl facility.

Thanks to the other poster that posted up that cba.  I obvi needed to brush up on it.
