No, that was specifically factored in. It was about double the rate of injury compared to other skill positions where they have the ball. A lot of the cases where punters get injured, however, are because the punter's trying to be a hero and doesn't wave off a fair catch when he should have and gets blasted.themunn":1nmprwqq said:Yeah, on a per play basis, because every punt goes to the same returner.
If you target a WR 10 times a game he's still on the field for anywhere between 30-60 plays where the ball goes nowhere near him, so the chance for injury on a per play basis is significantly less. The chance for injury on PRs is ridiculously low when you consider the number of punts fielded in a season
