I don't follow the NFL much, but don't teams have to release injury info, or at least the names of players who will not play in the upcoming game?
That's so that all the gamblers have the info, and hence there will be no need to bribe players for injury status, I presume.
College coaches keep injury status secret, at the very least by answering questions with gobbledygook.
Which sort of opens the door to gamblers paying players for injury information. I'm not singling out Sark. Venables spent the entire 2024 season providing over-optimistic assessments about players' injuries. It's irritating to fans and, as I said, increases the possibility that gamblers will pay for accurate information.
