A question was asked a few days ago concerning a comment
from that known Green Bay
hater former Dallas Cowboys quarterback Troy Aikman about the rash of injuries
the Packers has suffered this year possibly being the result of Head Coach Mike
McCarthy holding a Saturday practice instead of taking Saturday off and
practicing on Friday.
It was implied that the Packers players were more susceptible
to injuries during the Sunday games because they didn't have adequate time to
recover while other teams had a day to recover.
First, I could find no reference to the Packers practicing
on Saturday and injuries except for Aikman's comment. Second, the NFL doesn't
even recognize that the Packers practice on Saturday because their official
injury list only lists practices on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, including
the Packers. Third, there cannot be much of a practice since Saturday is also
travel day.
