A recent theory has emerged linking the proximity of the 49ers\u2019 practice facility to an electrical substation. And while there\u2019s apparently nothing to it<\/a>, the 49ers won\u2019t shrug it off.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat I would tell you, because it deals with allegedly the health and safety of our players, I think you have to look into everything,\u201d G.M. John Lynch told reporters on Wednesday. \u201cSo, our guys have been \u2014 we\u2019ve been reaching out to anyone and everyone to see does a study exist other than a guy sticking an apparatus underneath the fence and by coming up with a number that I have no idea what that means. That\u2019s what we know exists. We\u2019ve heard that debunked. So yes, we will look into it. We have. The health and safety of our players is of the utmost priority. We pour into it. Our ownership, [CEO] Jed [York], tremendous in terms of resources and we\u2019ll always be cognizant of things. I know that a lot of games have been won at this facility since it opened. We aren\u2019t going to turn a blind eye. We\u2019ll look into everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 49ers have practiced in the same facility since 1988, winning three Super Bowls in the first seven years there. And even if there\u2019s nothing to the electricity angle, the 49ers have had too many injuries in recent years.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe health and performance of our players is at the utmost priority each and every year,\u201d Lynch said. \u201cYou know, this year it was tough and it took a toll on our team. We\u2019ll continue to look. Now, having said that, we\u2019ve spent a lot of time and effort in recruiting really quality people and I think being at the forefront of injury prevention. I think this year probably because the star players that that went down there was a lot of attention given on that. The fact of the matter is injuries are a part of this game. And so, what we strive to do is never to eliminate injuries, but to mitigate injuries, and I think we have a lot of good processes. We\u2019ll challenge them all. That process has begun. It never frankly stopped, but yes, we\u2019ll look at everything and we\u2019ll examine everything.\u201d<\/p>\n

A certain amount of injuries are unavoidable. Still, training and nutrition and flexibility can be factors in the ability of players to stay healthy. Whatever the reason for two straight years of too many injuries for the 49ers, they need to get to the bottom of the problem, and fix it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A recent theory has emerged linking the proximity of the 49ers\u2019 practice facility to an electrical substation.
