Am I imagining things this pre-season

[KenfromCanada]

Or is there a lot more injuries and definitely more of the serious kind?

[Corkey_for_President]

I think it's been getting bad the past few years, actually.

ACLS

Yeah the league averages about 32 torn ACLs, per training camp/preseason.

That's horrifying.

Try as they may, there is very little you can do to strengthen tendons and ligaments. And when you build muscles like these guys do (more and more each year), and put the whole system under stress...something's gotta give. I think Sports Science still hasn't figured that out.

Sports science hasn't figured out how to strengthen the tendons like the muscle does from steroids....
