Injuries on the playing field are common. But for those like Bennie Joppru, who has not played a game in three seasons due to an injury, this season may be his last. When a player is considered injury prone, they run the risk of being cut from the team. Injuries will happen, but players are expected to make a full recovery and quickly. Many in the NFL wonder if this is fair. Bodies heal from different injuries at different rates. Depending on the players age, past injuries, and current injury, they could be out of the game for a season or more. Donovan McNabb has been out of the game since last season because of an injury. Other players such as Domanick Davis and Mewelde Moore are other players who will need to make a comeback this season. When a player is injured and back on the field, other players may have to compensate by catching more balls and running more yards because of injured teammates. If an injury is big enough, a player could end up without a job. Injuries should be attended to immediately. Players do need to rest until they are ready to play again. But in an industry that is youth driven and money hungry, injured players are not considered an asset. Even though many teams will give their players a chance to prove themselves, the amount of pressure to perform can be too much to handle. Many players need to plan for a future without the NFL after they are injured and cannot play for an extended period of time. |
