Yeah, like I said in my original post I don't know the health care plans of teams, individuals...so like most, they go to their own doctors who then diagnose, treat, operate and handle recovery.

So the team isn't involved in any of that? So when we hear stuff from directly from Quinton Dunbar saying, "they don't know what it is" in regards to his nerve, hamstring, groin, knee...the multiple guesses of what injury was going on with him...im trying to identify the point of reference...is that his personal doctor or the teams doctors? or both?

I'm also going to guess Smith and Guice weren't even in the same hospital.

Mccoy and Smith were and Colt had a successful surgery.

Of course Colt's bone did not pierce the skin when he broke his leg, so the bone was never exposed to the outside air. He had about the same risk of infection as you would if you got your appendix taken out.

Alex's risk was much much higher. I don't blame the hospital one bit for Alex's infection - it would not be considered a 'hospital acquired' infection. He got that shit basically the moment his bone poked through.

That makes sense

I saw something yesterday, trying to dig it up, but it basically said it was just recently in the last few years where the Skins were one of the least injured teams in the league. These last 2 years have been bad but trying to draw any direct correlations is probably pointless.

When we looked at AGL for head coaches last year, Jay Gruden was only surpassed by Mike McCoy's San Diego teams. After Washington finished last in AGL in 2017, we can say that Gruden has had the most injured teams of any coach since 2002. This 2017 total does not even include anything for safety Su'a Cravens, who shocked everyone when he decided to retire a week before the regular season. He was placed on an exempt list and missed the entire season after getting treated for post-concussion syndrome. Middle linebacker Mason Foster (11.3 AGL) and first-round rookie Jonathan Allen (11.0 AGL) were Washington's two biggest losses by AGL. The skill positions also lost tight end Jordan Reed (8.3 AGL), running backs Rob Kelley (8.6 AGL) and Chris Thompson (6.1 AGL), and wide receiver Terrelle Pryor (7.1 AGL) for extended periods of time. As we'll see next week in the unit breakdowns, the depth of injuries along the offensive line really pushed Washington over the top here. Washington had a league-high 10 players incur at least 6.0 AGL.
