Injuries are piling up at NFL camps but pros who recover right keep rolling<\/a> originally appeared on The Sporting News<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a tale as old as the NFL itself. As the new season approaches – players get injured. The training camps are heating up, and the bodies are breaking under the pressure.<\/p>\n

Green Bay has already seen cornerback Nate Hobbs<\/a> go down with a meniscus tear. He\u2019ll miss the entire preseason. Kenneth Walker III sat out Monday with a sore foot, and rookie center Olu Oluwatimi was also sidelined.<\/p>\n

In Washington, Deebo Samuel left practice early with a finger issue, while Brandon Coleman limped off with a leg injury. The Chiefs had Xavier Worthy enter concussion protocol. He was cleared only after fluid was drained from his head.<\/p>\n

And in Las Vegas, Lonnie Johnson Jr. had to be carted off after a mock game.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not bad luck. This is the phase of camp where the difference between pushing through and falling behind often comes down to recovery.<\/p>\n

Some teams are taking a harder approach. The Jets brought back full contact one-on-one tackle drills, something that has been missing from league practices<\/a> for more than ten years. Braelon Allen thrived in that setup. But staying healthy in that environment means recovering like a pro.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s where most players slip. They train hard, but they don\u2019t always recover hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cPro athletes don\u2019t treat recovery like a luxury,\u201d said Adam Cardona, founder of Elite Healers Sports Massage<\/a>. \u201cThey treat it like training. Most regular athletes skip that part, then wonder why they\u2019re still sore on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

The smart ones are building recovery into their daily schedule. That includes massage, contrast therapy, sleep tracking, mobility work, and nervous system resets. It\u2019s not just to feel good. It\u2019s to stay on the field.<\/p>\n

Because the truth is, most of these injuries aren\u2019t freak plays. They\u2019re what happens when recovery gets skipped. And once you fall behind in camp, it\u2019s hard to catch up.<\/p>\n
