SadFaceHappy Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Just now, Bugs bunny said: Well it’s physics. You stand there and I run into you full speed there’s a good chance the guy not moving is more vulnerable to injury. Regardless it is risky to put best players back on punt return but the payoff exceeds not doing it. It’s always pins and needles with a chance to break one. It's one (or several) more play they're on the field for, which is a slight bump to injury risk. But punt returners don't seem to get injured on returns very frequently. There's the occasional play where one gets blasted, but I'd bet if someone were to calculate the rate of injury it would be similar, possibly lower, than playing at any other position. Superficially it would seem to be a play you're more likely to get hurt on, but I don't think the data would show that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact is an injury can occur just as easily on any play. Should WRs not catch passes over the middle? Seems like higher percentage of getting injured.

Yeah I’m not saying there’s more frequency or anything like that I was just answering guy that the player is certainly more vulnerable in general.

Should WRs not catch passes over the middle? Seems like higher percentage of getting injured. I can also get injured stepping off a curb. That's not the point. The location of the players and the speed at which collisions happen on punt returns makes it more likely for a player to get more seriously injured than a regular play. It's an unnecessary risk for your #1 player when punt returner is less of a skill position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugs bunny Posted December 3, 2021 Share Posted December 3, 2021 Plus you got 11 guys screaming in right at you compared to a WR half the team is not close to hitting or prepared to nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adams, Hill, Diggs, Jefferson, Deebo, Kupp go ahead of him, with Chase a maybe. No other WRs I can think of just off the top of my head right now. I'd say he probably goes in about the same range as he did this year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
