Sports science is silly and [insert smoothie joke here], right? Bleeding Green Nation noted yesterday that it seems like every team in the NFC East is getting hurt all over except the Eagles, and ESPN backed that up with the Tweet above. Just this season, the Eagles have only four players on the IR compared to the Cowboys’ eight, the Giants’ six, and the Redskins’ five.
UPDATE: From reader Chris, the Eagles are also at the top of the league in Adjusted Games Lost because of injury. This, coming from Sharp Football Analysis:
Sharp goes on to say that Kelly’s Eagles are “just the 3rd team since 2002 to lead the NFL one season and then finish top 5 the following season.”
