It just seems to me that there has been an increase in injuries across the league ever since the most recent CBA was ratified. There were some radical changes to OTA and practice scheduled that reduced the total number of practices & OTAs, reduced the total number of practices with pads, reduce the total number of practices with contact etc etc. But no changes to preseason or regular season pace of play. Players are not as physically and mentally prepared for 'game day' as they were before the last CBA was ratified. And I think the increase in pre-season injuries can be directly correlated to that.
