As we look back on the 2009 season for the Oakland Raiders, we see that there were double digit frequencies of injuries.

But it seems there were a declining number of injuries of the Oakland Raiders as the season progressed to week 17. That's a bit of good news.
The weeks of the 2009 season when our players had a tough time were weeks 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 16. During those weeks we had injuries that were double digits.
Note that the regression line has a negative slope. It means that our team was declining in the number of injuries during the end of the season.
During the last two weeks of the season, the injuries shot up to double digits with 10 injuries, and then during the final week there were eight injuries.
Greg Ellis was listed on the Injury Report 10 times in the 2009; he is one example of a player who may have been injury prone.
But what does this mean? What story is this data telling? Is it that we are prone to have a double digit in the number of players who get injured during each week?
Well, this data is for last year. In 2010, since we are doing a lot of preparation and self-study, we will anticipate improvement in the area of injuries.
