Not that type! - I was thinking of the one that you often see offensive lineman & qb's wear. But I saw from Matty's post that Linebackers and players in positions where there is a lot of cutting could not get away with wearing a brace.

I agree Matty that wearing them may not prevent a lot of the injuries - I am just trying to think of any way to prevent what we have witnessed on this team this year with injuries, but I guess it is just the "unluck of the draw" and our Skins are on the bad end of the injury bug.

Maybe one positive that comes out of this is that a lot of the players who normally don't start got some playing time and experience and that will help with depth in the future - although I heard that the normal team turnover in the NFL is somewhere around 25%, so a lot of the players may be elsewhere in years to come.
