Actually, it is the new norm. I heard John Clayton on NFL Radio yesterday and IR designations are way up. Detroit lost their starting LT yesterday, as well. Lot's of injuries across the league in mini camps. Under the latest CBA this IS the new norm.

Apparently it was just a freak thing. He was working with tackling dummies and fell in an awquard position on a mat.
I have had 3 surgeries to repair labrum and rotator cuff. It sucks. It was ten years ago and I still feel it sometimes. They literally had to drill a button into my bone and loop it around it.

Bright side is maybe this will be it. As bad as injuries have been the past several years odds say we are due for a break.

On a side note I have torn a few labia in my lifetime.

Time to move on, Armstead is an injury liability. Another great choice by our FO giving a massive contract to someone who can't stay healthy.

I can understand his frustration when they all undoutedly work so hard, but WHEN he does come back, he will have a new ailment. History has told us that much.

Just Say No to Olympic Lifts, at Least for NFL Players

Probably not popular, but I'm coming around to the opinion that Sean Payton is in some way responsible for the injury plague.

I blame his obsession with crossfit....I want fat Payton back

They don't do crossfit any longer. landing with a great deal of weight on your shoulder can tear a labrum. That's exactly what happened to mine.

Everything about him off the field is a issue.

On the radio they said it was his hip. His hip is torn, not his shoulder according to 100.3 ESPN Nola sports radio (gus kattengill)

That was wrong. Especially don't take what you hear on the radio as fact. Those guys are on the air in a vacuum and have no time to check out rumors or misstatements.

Thanks Guido, you have given me yet another reason to hate Gus Kattengill. Man, that dude sucks.

But, I will say that they certainly DO HAVE THE MEANS. The vacuum they are in isn't that tightly sealed, they just need to do a better job of reporting the news.
