Preseason NFL definitely has its positives and negatives, but most recently we’re seeing more bad than good. Injuries always seem to be popping up and it was Ben Watson’s injury a few days ago that has John Harbaugh pushing for change. He wants the NFL to look into shortening the preseason schedule because of these kinds of injuries.
Watson was injured during the game against the Lions the other day and will not return this season. He tore his Achilles in that game unfortunately.
Harbaugh recognizes that its these games that makes players better, but he also thinks there has to be other ways to get better without putting his players in harm’s way. From the sound of it, many of Harbaugh’s players agree with their coach, but still think at least a game or two are needed.
