Is that statistically significant?

This could definitely just be year-on-year variance. There could also be more sensitivity from the medical teams towards minor injuries.

This is one of those things that everyone looks at and attributes whatever they hate about the game as the cause. But we don’t have enough evidence to make definitive claims about causal relationships in regards to injuries.
