Part of the injury problem is perception. Other teams don't trade away half their early and mid round draft picks to move up on most of their selections so they have more young players with upside to step up when injuries happen. Some of the injuries are forgotten because a young player has already stepped up. We lack a depth of high upside young players due to the Loomis Method of roster management so when we have injuries its much more evident with scrubs and grandpas stepping in. The Cowboys lost a good veteran left tackle but were ok because they had a high first round pick also. The Giants have an expensive veteran WR who can't get himself right and see the field but they are in no rush because their young guys seem to be better. Other teams hardly complain that their Julio Jones or AJ Green or whoever is out because they have young guys ready to step up. But when Stafford and Kupp go down the Rams freak out because they traded all their picks, and likewise for us with Thomas and Lattimore.
