How this was counted
What counts as an injury
A stretch of consecutive regular-season games a player missed while listed Out or Doubtful on the official injury report, or while on injured reserve or PUP. Questionable listings where the player played don't count. Illness, personal, rest and COVID-list absences are excluded. Two separate injuries in one year count twice.
Starter vs backup
First-string on the depth chart for the game before the injury, or averaging 50%+ of offensive or defensive snaps before it (last season's share for Week 1–2 injuries). Kickers, punters and long snappers count as starters. Snap data starts in 2013, so 2011–12 lean slightly toward "backup".
Games missed
Reported regular-season games missed for each injury record; byes and playoffs are excluded by the supplied methodology. Records can continue through season end. The mean for records not flagged season-ending is not a verified return or recovery time.
Season-ending
Never returned that regular season and was on IR or PUP, or missed 4+ straight games through the finale. Sitting only the last week or two shows as "through season end".
Before Week 1
Training-camp injuries (on IR or PUP at kickoff) are left out of the counts because the source rosters include full 90-man camp rosters from 2016 on but not before. Tick the box in the injury report to see them.
Sources and limitations
The supplied starter attributes its records to nflverse weekly injury reports, rosters, depth charts and schedules, plus Pro Football Reference snap counts. Player histories are grouped by name because the supplied data has no player IDs; different players with the same name may be combined. For 2011–2015 the IR start date is taken from when the player dropped off the depth chart. Rams, Chargers and Raiders are listed under their current cities. Roster size, schedule length and reporting rules differ across years. Their effects on recorded counts have not been isolated.
