In this week's injury mailbag, Greg Scholz analyzes Saquon Barkley's injury, gives updates on Cooper Kupp and Kyler Murray — and more!
First, here’s a quick glossary of terms commonly used by =Health Performance Factor — our metric to predict player performanceQ: Is Saquon Barkley really going to come back two weeks after a high ankle sprain? And if he somehow plays, is he going to be cortisone’d up and feel no pain and go 100%, or will they take it easy so there’s no aggravation or related injury? – Love, the Editorsplaying on Monday and him getting an extra day of rest, his metrics aren’t in a great spot .
This, combined with Barkley’s health metrics, means he’s still 15 days from Optimal Recovery. His Injury Risk is High and his Health Performance Factor is Below Average . We don’t have enough data to make any changes based on this argument as of now, but there is logic present and it’s something that we’ll continue to explore. If a player does not adequately prepare themselves for the speed and intensity of the, they are putting themselves in a position where injury becomes more likely. As you pointed out, first team players are gradually seeing fewer reps in the preseason to mitigate injuries, meaning their ramp up is going to have to take place off the field.
Hamstring strains and wide receivers don’t go well together, particularly due to the demands of the position. A hamstring strain, a common injury in athletes, particularly impacts wide receivers in football due to the demands of the position. These injuries involve stretching or tearing in the muscles or tendons located on the back of the thigh. Two major responsibilities of the hamstring are deceleration of the leg and controlling movement.
Q: Update on Kyler Murray? ETA? Do the Cards plan on playing him or tanking for high pick? Status of that knee? – Ron A. The next ones are going to look different depending on position and how the medical staff is approaching the injury. Some general things observed for quarterbacks are: side-to-side movement, throwing mechanics, mental readiness, and conditioning.As for are the Cardinals tanking? I don’t think so, at least not based on how they’re playing to start the season. Now, I know tanking is controversial — and this is just my opinion — but tanking doesn’t seem right for them.
