I loved "studies" like this. What they fail to distinguish is that 2/3 of the league are one serious injury away from being out of the league anyways. They are holding on by their teeth to stay in the league when healthy. Once a big injury hits, even if they recover, they never get a second chance. I'd bet it's more like 2/3 of the starting players who suffer the injury make it back into the NFL. Maybe even more.
