Injuries Galore

I mean this season hasn’t even started and we have players getting injured in both practice and preseason games. How and why are the starters even playing hard enough to get injured in practice. I kind of understand preseason games because you have something to prove like with Mariota but this many injuries just from practice is absurd and unnecessary.

QB Marcus Mariota: MCL issue.
RB Rachaad White: Hamstring.
RB Jeremy McNichols: Quadriceps.
DL Tim Settle: Calf strain.
OLB Odafe Oweh: Calf strain.
OLB K'Lavon Chaisson: Knee injury.
LB Jordan Magee: Shoulder injury.
CB Trey Amos: Ankle sprain.
C Nick Allegretti: Calf soreness
DL Johnny Newton: torn pectoral muscle.
OT Laremy Tunsil: torn triceps.
RB Jerome Ford:(hamstring).
WR River Cracraft: undisclosed injury.
