Off-season injuries, 2025

Let's look at some injuries that have carried over from the off-season, 2024, or earlier. We'll assess the potential impact of each injury on the upcoming season. Note that there's no short-term IL lists as of yet, so the Worry-O-Meter scores are based more on an overall level of risk than an anticipated return date.

Credit for the Worry-O-Meter goes to Dr. Jim Ferretti (X: @TFSDoc):

     1 – “No problemo”
     2 – “I’ll be back”
     3 – “I (might) be back”
     4 – “I (probably won’t) be back”
     5 – “Hasta la vista, baby”

Hamstrings, obliques, and a trunks. It was a busy weekend for muscle strains.
