Rodgers, Cousins, Tre White, Al Woods, Dobbins
I mean this isn’t a common injury
Now there have been 11 tears.

Evidence seems to point to the contrary.

Weak players. They should simply not tear it.

All but 1 of those were on turf no? Hmm.

Dobbins just seems injury prone so chalk that up to that and White the last fews years has missed quite a bit of games also. He hasnt played a full season since 18 i think. Rodgers and Woods are up there in age, 38 and 36, so that may something to do with it.

Combo of overworked, hard surfaces, age, and circumstances

I would guess it’s an overuse injury. Players are practicing less and less and the ramp up from off season to regular season is shorter and less intense. They are getting injured because that ramp is too steep. It’s causing the uncommon to become common

I've noticed a good bit of hamstring injuries too

athletes continue to get bigger and stronger. I think being stronger can be a detriment to their own bodies at times.

There have actually been cases where common documented side effects of new super-antibiotics were ruptured tendons and achilles.
Look up Levaquin. Lots of people took that medication and hopped out of bed a week later and both of their achilles exploded. Or they needed Tommy John surgery because they reached into the fridge for a jar of mustard.

You can add Cam Akers to that list just tore his Achilles

Kwon Alexander tore his achilles today.
