I thought about whether to introduce new injuries randomly during the playoffs. I'm leaning against it, since it could have a huge effect and would represent a clear departure from the history of the actual NFL, if for example, Tom Brady received a severe injury during the first round of the playoffs. Does anyone really want random injuries to pop up during the playoffs?

The details of how I will accurately estimate the odds that a player can comeback from a week 16 injury are a little mathy. I think I'll keep that a Sandbox Corporate secret. I'll vet it with Rain Man, but I'm pretty happy with this idea.
