Watt & Ertz worked out together the entire offseason, and both have calf injuries?? Back in my powerlifting days, I did a ton a box jumps, and would almost always eventually strain a calf. Once I cut out box jumps, I never strained a calf again. Hope like hell that they can both play. Without them, our chances of winning are diminished a TON.

Mine were from Double Unders, but your point is very valid!

Sounds like it was more than just a tweak.

It's also not at all surprising. I just don't think he is built to last in the NFL.

Because guys like Ertz/Watt/Rondale are always injured, and a guy like Trayvon Mullen was given away, and is injured again after playing 4 games last year.

It's hard to imagine it's a strength and conditioning program issue. More likely brittle players breaking down.
It's a Steve Keim problem.
