Re: Gillislee...Hamstring
Do we really have an inordinate amount of injuries compared to other teams, or is it just our perception because we hear about every one, following the team? Regardless of whether it's 'normal' or not, it sure as hell is frustrating.YardRat Wall of Fame

Some feel the greatly relaxed pace of training camps the players have demanded and got through the years is one of the culprits.Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.

Re: Gillislee...Hamstring
Interesting read regarding hamstring injuries, which are considered conditioning injuries.
“While you may not see as many injuries initially with a less physically strenuous training camp, a hamstring or soft tissue injury will rear its head at some point during the long season if the player is not conditioned properly,” says Sam Bell, athletic trainer and physical therapist for the Baltimore Ravens.
Initially intended as a research project, Elliott and the Patriots’ sports medicine staff began the program by individually assessing the team at the end of the season to identify potential weaknesses and imbalances. These factors included hamstring muscle strength, muscle coordination, pelvic alignment while sprinting, and running technique. Players were then given a position-specific program that corrected any observed deficiencies, even addressing sprinting technique. The results were significant: prior to implementing the program, the Patriots had 22 players suffer hamstring injuries, but after the program was implemented that number dropped to three and then two the following season.
