Moreso than anything it's to protect the player's privacy and also help keep their injury from being targeted.

Then comes the strategy aspect where the less your opponent knows the better.

And maybe giving the media FUs is a fun bonus, but it isn't meant to be a spite to fans for sure.

quote:

I saw in his press conference yesterday that he said it would take too long to go over all the injuries.


This is a mischaracterization too. What he said is that he isn't going to explain every time a player sits a half practice or half practice or every time they leave the field for the training room.

He's not required to and I wouldn't either if I didn't have to. Think about the focus necessary to achieve and win at the NFL level. Occasionally competitive advantage might come into play. More so it is just the commodity of time and effort one has to go through with the media these days.
