Colorado Football Team Suffers Shoulder Injuries
June 12, 2001
The University of Colorado football team has been hit with a string of shoulder injuries. Coaches and team medical staff members are concerned. In the last five years, 46 Colorado players have had shoulder surgery. Earlier this year, 8 of the 23 players still recuperating from spring practice injuries had undergone shoulder surgeries.
Gary Barnett, Colorado's head coach since 1999, has called for a review of team practice drills, conditioning programs and equipment. The inquiry will investigate all shoulder injuries that occurred over the last several years to determine whether they occurred during practice, games, or the off-season. The coach and his staff are looking for clues before the team resumes practice in August.
