That's horrible. I can't stand the preseason. I can stomach players getting hurt during the first play of the regular season because that's the way things go but I cannot stand it in meaningless games. Maybe Strahan will come back.

Yeah, another reason why the preseason system is broken, IMO.  Generally over the last 20 years, the amount of injuries during preseason (and during the season) have been increasing.  If they need more time to evaluate players, than extend the amount of OTAs/camps they can have, but 4-5 preseason games is just stupid.  Especially when you factor in the rising value of players and what it means to lose a key position like blindside tackle or even worse, QB.
