This may be a stupid question... (re: LBs and conditioning)

This may be a stupid question and I'm not totally sure it's worthy of a separate thread, but as I've been looking at our roster and our injury list in recent days, it's struck me how many LBs we have, and how few injuries we've seen among LBs.  Other than the scratch to Luke's leg (which resulted in like 1 missed snap in the NE game), and the muscle tweak Trusnik had the past day or two (he was back to practice today), I don't think ANY of our 10 LBs have missed much practice time this pre-season due to injury.  Perhaps I'm forgetting someone.  But right now all 10 of our LBs are healthy.

So my question:  Is there something different the LBs do regarding strength & conditioning that the other positions don't?  Do they have different strength & conditioning routines or coaches?  I imagine I'm completely off the wall for thinking this could be a factor, but given so many other position groups struggling with injuries - especially non-contact injuries, it's got me wondering.

P.S -.and yes I have knocked on wood that we avoid any LB injuries!

Luke Kuechly sits on the edge of a six-foot wide, two-foot deep metal tub filled with ice and water contemplating the shock his body is about to endure.

"Oh, I dread it every time," Kuechly says with a grin.

But he gets in. He always gets in.

I think players train as a group, so LB's would have their own routine. A good part of it may be training with weights & strengthening the core.

I used to roll my eyes when people complained about why the trainers couldnt make sure proper stretching is done to prevent the dreaded hammy pull. From a layman perspective it just seems like it can be prevented. I guess not.

I may be off base with this comment, but can we not talk about groups of players that seem to never get injured? That makes me nervous as fug and I feel like it's bad luck.

understood, and I did hesitate to write this, but I really was curious...

      Major Concerns with this team…with numbers

      By Stumpy · Posted

      The good news is that we are pretty uniquely well established to address all of our needs this season. We have $14m real cap space, and something like $40m in trade deadline cap space. Not sure exactly how that works out. But, we have the room to absorb any bad contracts. With recent rule changes regarding retention, that went into effect this season, we now have a huge advantage in the trade market.  On top of that, while we do have obvious needs, we also have a glut of talent in certain areas that we struggle to find ice time for. We are over-stocked on scrappy talented lil-guys, strong defensively sound 3rd liners and shutdown left shot dmen. Whether it's a package or separate deals, idk. But, one of each from Stank/Blake/Nads, Erob/Carrier/KK/Jank, and Walker/Nystrom; throw in some 1st round picks (and frankly any other prospects they want) and we should be able to come out with a 1b to pair with Bussi and either a 2c with size or a 2c and size.   TL/DR We got the money, you got the stuff?

      I don’t  think 6’4 was ever considered small or undersized. Baby hands tho, yes that was his thing That’s an interesting idea, like an optical illusion? Sounds like you have personal experience with this!

      in the 25' draft the Carolina Panthers had hired Brandt Tillis someone who actually understood how to build a successful team & build through the draft .  this team was yes mismanaged for years prior to Brandt Tillis joining the team in 25' & rarely done anything right in the draft outside occaionaly getting lucky on an UDFA such as Jalen Coker who's dad coincidentally happened to be a huge Carolina Panthers fan, hint hint  ...just saying
