CMC out with Achilles tendonitis. Deebo out with calf strain. Kittle out with hamstring strain. Ward questionable with hamstring strain.
Guys aren't getting broken bones or separated shoulders as much anymore but tons of sprains, strains, achilles injuries, acl and mcl injuries.
Also wonder if back in the day. Guys just played with strains and sprains. I mean if you pop a tendon you aren't going to play but I think they are a lot more cautious now with star players. CMC said he wanted to play but they put him on IR. I am sure Kittle would play this week if they let him.
Considering how much Crosby plays through, I wonder how much of it is guys being more cautious than they used to.
