There\u2019s no hard evidence to support the idea that 49ers players are more susceptible to injuries because they practice near an electrical substation. But that doesn\u2019t stop people from asking questions. And 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk thinks those questions should be asked.<\/p>\n

After 49ers General Manager John Lynch said the team hired an independent expert and found there\u2019s no connection<\/a> between the electrical substation and player injuries, Juszczyk sounds satisfied. But he also thinks it\u2019s reasonable for players to have their concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t stand next to the microwave while it\u2019s on. Who knows if that does anything to you. But if there\u2019s any chance or inkling or thought process that maybe it has a 1 percent affect on you, I\u2019m going to avoid it,\u201d Juszczyk told Jim Rome<\/a>. \u201cI\u2019m happy that John said they did some studies and it was a big nothing burger. I would love to hear more about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Juszczyk says he heard a lot of opinions from people who had their own ideas about whether or not there\u2019s any merit to the substation theory.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a very entertaining talking point, one of those things I had everybody asking me about,\u201d he said. \u201cI think it\u2019s OK to be skeptical and ask questions. I don\u2019t think that means I have a tinfoil hat on. The fact that they did science, looked into it and found nothing.\u201d<\/p>\n

For his own part, Juszczyk has only missed seven games in his 13-year NFL career.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt hasn\u2019t affected me too much,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve been pretty damn healthy since I\u2019ve been in San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There\u2019s no hard evidence to support the idea that 49ers players are more susceptible to injuries because they…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":577283,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-577282","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-nfl","9":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577282","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=577282"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/577282\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/577283"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=577282"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=577282"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=577282"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
