Are there things that he can do to prevent the type of injuries he gets?

Injuries are part of the game, and I say this a lot, but TJ Houshmandzadeh had chronic soft tissue injuries - primarily hamstring.   He knew if he did not solve the problem they were going to cut him.  He went out and found someone to help him incorporate a really rigorous power yoga routine that resulted in no more significant hamstring injuries.  He had a couple of tweaks now and then, but the problem was essentially solved.

Don't know if there is some sort of routine or combination of routines and dietary adjustments that might help him avoid the chronic injury problems.

I'd love to pick Housh's brain on this.

His big injury was a serious ankle sprain that required tightrope surgery.  Another player landed on it.  He's had some hamstring issues as well.  He's a big guy with lots of strain on those muscles.

NFL rehab and training will help.  I think exposure to the stuff NFL players do in addition to practice and the weight room will do wonders.  A lot of the Bengals' defensive linemen and linebackers do high-level pilates.  That is something he might benefit from as it really helps with flexibility.
