The whole team could drop with injuries and Tepper still wouldnt switch to grass.

And if he switched to grass, when the players get the same injuries, the fans will say it's now just bad luck.

Yes, grass is more forgiving, but there have been tons of teams, not to mention most high schools and colleges that have Turf and you don't hear people say the same thing there.

Injuries overall are just up because the sport gets more physical every year, and I think players push themselves TOO much, particularly in the offseason, and the increased strength/muscle that players have now vs 20+ years ago, limits flexibility and is a bigger cause of today's injuries than the playing surfaces.

Just think about teams like the Lions, Cowboys, Vikings, etc that back in the day played on those astroturf fields on top of cement flooring.  If those weren't causing more injuries back then, I really don't think the playing surface these days is to blame.

Isn’t Coker eligible to come back relatively soon? I thought he only had a 3-4 week injury with a mandatory 4 week period on IR.

*checks calendar* that was like 6 weeks ago

The lack of updates should be concerning

I wish we had Thielen right about now. 

He'd probably be hurt too.

If the rumors were true about him helping Bryce in the huddle, I wonder if that could be responsible in part for how the passing offense has looked at the start of the season.

He was in the weight room working out with XL Tuesday afternoon. Think he will be back for Miami.

If Tet doesn’t play, our WR’s will be catastrophically bad on Sunday.

I wonder if the rumors about him being out of shape was true and it’s a weight/conditioning thing. Possibly running on a treadmill in Dave’s backyard
