<\/strong>Chance of Getting Injured: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>Impact on team success: GAME OVER<\/strong><\/p>\n From 1998-2010, Manning started 227 consecutive games including the playoffs. The streak ended when a neck injury hindered him from playing the entire 2011 season. However, Manning successfully returned in 2012 to play all games on the Denver Broncos\u2019 schedule. Sure he looked good last season but keep in mind that he is already 37 years old. Add that to it the nature of his past injury and you can almost picture Manning in a cast sometime this coming season. An injury would be a great blow to his odds of winning the 2013 NFL regular season MVP.<\/a><\/p>\n 2.\u00a0\u00a0 Robert Griffin III \u2013 Washington Redskins<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: GAME OVER<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/b>Washington Redskins\u2019 fans were horrified at the sight of RG3 grimacing in pain when he blew his knee during a playoff game last season. How could they not be? Griffin is the cornerstone of their franchise \u2013 the kind of player that can make Washington residents forget that they have the NBA Wizards. Plus, he suffered the same injury before in college.<\/p>\n Griffin had the whole off-season to heal but that\u2019s not enough reason to feel assured that his knees can hold up during the entire season considering the type of game of plays.<\/p>\n 3.\u00a0\u00a0 Jason Peters \u2013 Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: MEDIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: MEDIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n Peters missed the entire 2012 NFL season due to a ruptured Achilles tendon. It was among the rash of injuries the Eagles\u2019 endured last season which played a big role in not only having a miserable year but also for ending Andy Reid\u2019s coaching stint in Philadelphia. Though there are reports saying that Peters might retire if his performance this year does not live up to his expectations, Eagles\u2019 line coach Jeff Stoutland thinks he’s back. Stoutland, in an interview, said: \u201cHonestly, you wouldn\u2019t know Jason ever had an injury.\u201d<\/a> Philly fans can only hope that he would stay healthy throughout the season.<\/p>\n <\/b>4.\u00a0\u00a0 Michael Vick \u2013 Philadelphia Eagles<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0 Chance of Getting Injured: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: MEDIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n Vick\u2019s health is his Achilles heel the way\u00a0Antonio Cromartie’s is family planning. Every season since his return from suspension, a part of his body breaks down causing him to miss games. From 2009 to 2012, the Philadelphia Eagles\u2019 quarterback has hurt his ribs, popped his finger out of place, and injured his quadriceps. Last season, he suffered a concussion that caused him to play only 10 games. Might as well expect what the trend dictates \u2014 that he\u2019ll get injured again this year. If he snares the Eagles\u2019 starting QB job, his health will play a large role on whether his team can be competitive in the NFC East division<\/a>.<\/p>\n 5.\u00a0\u00a0 Rob Gronkowski \u2013 New England Patriots<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n Just like RG3, Gronkowski is awaiting medical approval before even stepping on the field. Last season, he fractured his left forearm twice. Then an infection decided to hole up in that same forearm which affected his recovery. His medical ordeals don\u2019t stop there. Gronkowski visited the operating room once more in June to undergo back surgery. Now, if that litany of injuries wasn\u2019t enough to deter you from believing that Gronk can stay healthy the whole season, then nothing will and considering Aaron Hernandez (yes, the one awaiting trial) propped up the TE position for the Pats last season, his return is more important than ever.<\/p>\n 6.\u00a0\u00a0 Adrian Peterson \u2013 Minnesota Vikings<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: GAME OVER<\/strong><\/p>\n Peterson\u2019s list of past (and present) NFL injuries can easily be confused to that of a war veteran. He\u2019s had injuries to his hamstring, back, ankle, and calf. Furthermore, \u201cPurple Jesus\u201d tore his ACL and MCL in December of 2011 causing him to miss the rest of the season.<\/p>\n He came back strong in 2012 to win the MVP plum<\/a> but ailments continued to plague him this off-season with problems in his abdomen and groin. Ouch. Totally no surprise if Peterson gets injured again this season.<\/p>\n 7.\u00a0\u00a0 Darrelle Revis \u2013 Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: MEDIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n After suffering a season-ending injury, Revis has plenty to prove to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers given what they traded for him. We\u2019re hoping the Bucs pulled the trigger because he looked like the top defensive player he\u2019s always been. When healthy, Revis can help Tampa Bay win more games<\/a> than it did last season and he can cover any receiver in the league.<\/p>\n <\/b>8.\u00a0\u00a0 Michael Crabtree \u2014 San Francisco 49ers<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: MEDIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/b>There is little to no chance that Michael Crabtree will be available to play during the first few weeks of the 2013 season. Crabtree is still recuperating from a torn Achilles tendon injury he suffered this off season. Needless to say, his injury means a lot to the 49ers who are aiming a return to the Super Bowl. However, the 49ers\u2019 wide receiver has a good chance of appearing in San Francisco\u2019s games late in the season. He underwent surgery in July and is now working his way to tiptop form through rehab.<\/p>\n 9.\u00a0\u00a0 Ben Roethlisberger \u2013 Pittsburgh Steelers<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: MEDIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: GAME OVER<\/strong><\/p>\n Let\u2019s get the caveat out early: Roethlisberger has not played a complete regular season schedule in 10 years. Last season, he injured his right shoulder which caused him to miss the Pittsburgh Steelers\u2019 Week 11-13 games. This off season, the Super Bowl champion quarterback underwent surgery on his right knee but Big Ben assures everyone that he\u2019s feeling great about the result. Yeah, right. His knee should hold up or else, the Steelers\u2019 odds of winning even the AFC North division<\/a> will be in peril.<\/p>\n 10.\u00a0\u00a0 Brian Cushing \u2013 Houston Texans<\/strong><\/p>\n Chance of Getting Injured: HIGH<\/strong><\/p>\n Impact on team success: MEDIUM<\/strong><\/p>\n Cushing only played a total of five games last season after going down to a left knee injury. It was a kind of big blow to the Texans\u2019 defense which surely could have used his explosiveness during last season\u2019s playoffs. By all accounts, the 2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year is on course to starting the 2013 NFL season. His return will be a great boost to Houston\u2019s hopes of a better finish.<\/p>\n There’s a lot at stake for the above players, the teams, and even the NFL Futures<\/a>\u00a0so we do indeed hope that everyone plays out the season with care.
