“This is my personal opinion: When it comes to these soft-tissue injuries, I’ll tell you flat out: I don’t think this is a coincidence. What can explain this? Again, I wasn’tthere to witness the workload and all the other factors during the camp and the days that preceded it. But it would be foolish to have three injuries like this — three non-contact soft-tissueinjuries in the same muscle group — and think this is a coincidence. And I’m sure [the coaching staff] didn’t do that.”
