Ever wonder how come none of the injured players (inactive for the game) are present on the sidelines? Ray Lewis hasn’t played in weeks but is there every game (even on road games). Clay Mathews…. – same. I remember seeing Urlacher, as well as many other players present on the sidelines. For some reason, I don’t recall ever seeing an injured Pat on the sidelines…. Gronk is nowhere to be seen (unless you follow him on Facebook/Twitter), Hernandez was never on the sidelines while he was recovering, etc.

Any thoughts? Is this something that BB’s won't allow?

You know I always wondered that myself...

I seem to remember seeing Darrelle Revis and Santonio Holmes scurrying in the exercise wheels on the Rats' sidelines on Spanksgiving evening.

I seem to recall that being an old Parcells thing. Namely, if you're hurt, you're not really part of the team/someone to be discussed or considered until you're back.

That sounds negative, but I don't think it is. More just having the guys who are playing realize that, for better or worse, they ARE the team that day.

That's actually a GREAT point. Never thought of it that way.

Bledsoe did for some games when he was out in 2001 I think, but yeah you don't see that anymore.

Ty Law was on the sidelines for the SB with his little leg cart thing..

Troy and Kevin were on the sidelines at times.

But, I believe that it's more about not wanting them to be a distraction.

When Brady was out, there was some dialogue about if he was on the sideline he risked further injury..

Excuse?? I do not know, but this is a long standing practice for this team.

This makes sense. We saw Sean Payton get run over and hurt on the sidelines, and a player with an injury that affects their ability to get out of the way just puts them at more risk.

And I think that in most cases, there's not really anything to gain from having players on the sideline except in Ray Lewis types of cases. Although Vollmer was on the sidelines for the Jets game after being surprisingly inactive.

Maybe it is because the cameras are too busy catching up with our super fast no huddle offense and when the offense is not on the field the cameras as busy showing us -------->
