Injuries-It could be worse, at least we are not the 49er's

[loudnproudcolt]

Came across a good article detailing what certain team's are facing going into the opening game. How many rookies made the cut?  In addition it has a breakdown of teams and how many on IR,  the worst and best. 49er's have the whole league beat!

 

At least we are not the 49'ers who have 15 on IR. Plus you need to think about the suspension of Aldon Smith and now if/when McDonald is suspended.

 

The Seahawks have the 2nd most with 11 on IR.

 

We tie for 3rd with the Jaguars. So at least we are not first, but why can't we be like the Bears, Lions or Bucs.

 

I am going to link the article, just because it is interesting. Check out how many teams are going with new kickers into the season. It does make you appreciate what we have!

 

Players not on the field!

It is amazing how many players just aren't ready for opening day or have already been sent to injured reserve. Would you believe at this time there are 218 players out of commission for one reason or another. The list is sure to grow quickly. Here's the breakdown; 152 on injured reserve, 22 on PUP (physically unable to perform), 15 on NFI (non-football injury), three who did not report and, most troubling, 26 on suspension.

The 49er's lead the way with 15 players sidelined, followed by the Seahawks with 11. The Jags and Colts each have nine. The top three teams in the best shape are the Bears, Lions and Bucs with one player each.

I would believe it

[Bravo]

Not yet.....

[lollygagger8]

This is one Top 10 list I wouldn't mind not making it on for once

When was the last time we didn't have double digit guys on IR at some point in the season? Are we cursed or are some of these guys made of glass?

IR including players that we're never going to make the roster are not much of a problem. Ballard and Thomas hurt the most, but we managed most of last season without either, so I suspect we can do so again this year.

Please.....just few more days........we can make it.........

[Warhorse]

True....because if we were the 49'rs....... last year we would have lost to the Seahawks.  ;)

[Narcosys]

Well now you jinxed it. you don't talk about it and don't say it. just keep quiet and pray it lasts.

[RomanianColtsFan]

And last year and the year before we used to envy the 49ers for the least amount of injuries...So they do not hold a special secret after all, just got lucky.

49ers could probably play their back ups and beat the Cowboys.

Both of those guys were coming off of significant injuries not sure they were going to bring this year IMO. The way Boom played Ballard might have been our 4th rb.

 

We have 8 guys on the IR that more than likely most would not have made the final 53: Adongo Ulrich Morgan Loisea Hall Karim. Then  Pendleton and Moalo give us a chance to look at younger guys without losing much like Kerr

 

Howell stinks the neck is serious but we got lucky with Adams I think. He is experienced not going to the pro bowl but a starter in this league started for the Super Bowl loser last year. Havili meh.

 

It is the guys that didn't IR but are dinged that really hurt us IMO

 

Holmes is the one that hurt the most. We have a young O line that needed the preseason to come together IMO. I am tired of the guy personally.

 

Reitz would be the second biggest problem IMO he is our depth on the O Line probably best reserve at every spot but C and really leaves us thin at T.
