Post Game Thread: The New England Patriots defeated The Kansas City Chiefs 43-40

Berry isn't playing because his condition means he will likely tear his Achilles again. That means never playing football again. We want him back to get our defense better. The best way to guarantee he comes back is rest. We need him the most in the playoffs. That is weeks from now. He can take more time to rest.

Houston has a hamstring injury. I can't find details on exactly what, but it's likely a low grade sprain (muscle tear) or strain (ligament tear) on his hamstring. Once something is torn, it is MUCH easier to tear. This means you need to rest that muscle until it stops being a problem. You know what muscle is used in every facet of football? The hamstring. If he makes any of those tears worse his season is over.

I agree you don't pay injury prone players money. The problem is they've been paid. Don't be an idiot and protect your investments so they can pay off when you need them most.
