You can tgraon too much as we saw last yearwith CMC. Every player's body is differfent so it's not like there's a tried and true formula for preventing this stuff.
Training and proper recovery. Look at Derrick Henry. Dude spending like $150k a yr on his recovery.
also it's football and guys just get hurt.
Yep. It's really hard to get a single body up super close to 100% optimized, and once there it's even harder to keep it there. Then add that players and agents are fully aware that they are paid 100% of their money when they are injured, and rushing back can cause an injury to become chronic or to shorten their careers. Why EVER play or practice when you feel anything at all if it can take a future contract away?
So, we have a smaller margin of health, and less motivation to "push through" sprains, strains, and aches and pains.
