Do easier NFL practices lead to more in season injuries?

I don't recall ever seeing this many injuries in a season. Lamar Jackson hit his hand on a defender on his first pass and now he's on IR.

And how would more intense practices make him any less likely to need thumb surgery from contact that direct? This is silly

The CBA that neutered the intensity of practices was signed way back before the 2011 season. And there was a study that looked at injury rates from 2007-2016 and found no statistical evidence of injury increases from lighter practices

I think playing games on four days rest and flying halfway around the world for games has more to do with it than light practices.
