Re: Chargers' Kaeding kicked with broken plant leg vs. Pats
The whole injury reporting thing is dumb.
Except for bookies, who cares? So what if a team doesn't reveal that a starter is hurt? They can always put their back up in anyway even if he's not hurt.
Even if Rivers was 100 percent healthy, the Chargers could have started Volek if they wanted to, or put him in on every other play, so the Patriots had to be ready for that, etc.
I think the injury report is for the press and for Vegas. And who cares about them. Put or don't put whomever you want on it.
Falsely making it appear a player is injured when he is not is a slightly bigger deal. But can we as Patriots fans really complain about that? It's still absurd anyway. If a guy is on IR, you don't need to prepare for him. Otherwise, you do.
