Sitting on the sidelines isn't much risk of injury, but that's part and parcel of playing in any game. It just feels like hyperbole after awhile worrying about whether there's a risk or not. Of course there's a risk. We could say they're risking injury to Andy by letting him play, but you know where that argument would lead .. Nowhere .. LOL
We are saying the same thing. In some cases if a player returns too soon it increases his chance of aggravating the existing injury.
Although Burfict may not be 100% recovered I don't think there is any increased chance of injury. Look at geno last year. Even though he did not have all his explosiveness back last year his ACL was 100% healed and there was no increased chance of him re-injuring the same knee.
