Naw...this is far beyond a normal injury bug.
Both starting ILBs injured and all the others in the last 3 seasons. It’s biblical.

If it makes you feel any better about your situation, atleast youre loaded with talented backups. Tennessee has probably had 6-10 offensive linemen not only get injured but completely medically retire from the game of football in the last couple years. Its been insane.

It's not even an injury bug.

The most common injured position in football? Linebacker, and not by a little, but double that of other positions in the last study I saw.

The most common injuy in football?

Knee injuries. More specifically: ACL. More time is lost because of ACL and knee injuries in general than any other injury.

What is this injury? A Linebacker with an ACL. Surprise!

Why is the linebacker position the most often injured? A few reasons.

As far as mass movement, linebackers are usually moving the most mass at the most speed. That makes them more prone to these injuries because more strain is put on their joints.

Furthermore, linebackers make the most hits and tackles in general of any other position in football defensively. Probably the only position that takes as many hits would be the running back position - which btw is the position that is injured the most on offense and also shares the mass movement issue I mentioned above.

Some people might end up blowing their own ACL with the knee jerk reactions around here.
