22 starting RB's have missed at least one game this year! (1 Viewer)

In the NFC, the only teams whose starting running backs haven't been injured and missed time are: Washington, Dallas, Chicago, Carolina, Atlanta, and Arizona

In the AFC, it was even worse: only Pitt, Balt, NYJ, and SD.

That is amazing. Anyone know if this is a record?

Isn't it ironic that one of the ones who has not missed a game is Clinton Portis...? There was so much angst about his injury status leading up to the season. Now he's durable by comparison.

I actually think this is quite unfortunate for the Bears

Exactly what I was thinking.

If Foster misses time this week, that'll make it 24.

Thomas Jones hasn't missed a game so far this season. It only looks like he has because he has 0 touchdowns.

If Foster misses time this week, that'll make it 24.

And Lynch will make it 25.

This is classic. And not to hijack but Betts is striclty what he is a good back up RB.

My fault, changed it to 22. Looks like Foster will play too.

Portis, Foster, and Dunn are three of the only 10 starters that haven't missed a game.That's really surprising.

 

[Mr. Brownstone]

Fred Taylor hasn't missed any games this year.

I am pretty sure I have seen somewhere that less than 10 RBs per year start every game for thier team. In other words, 16 starts is the exception not the rule for RBs, although it does appear that the rate this year is ahead of the normal pace.

I was thinking the same thing. Then thought maybe he was talking about MJD, but he hasn't missed a game either.

He won't miss this week. He practiced fully Friday, and is probable for the game.
