Here are some thoughts based on what I believe to be true:

1. OOTP does not try to model what happens in RL with players starting a season strong and well-rested, and gradually becoming more fatigued as the season progresses. What it does instead is "average it out", as it were.

2. Any player who plays in a game while being "Tired" or "Exhausted" has a higher risk of being injured.

3. Any player who plays with a DtD injury risks getting a worse injury. Any player who has been injured before has a high risk of being injured again.

4. Any player who plays a lot during a season runs a greater risk of injury simply by having that many more opportunities to a get a "bad roll of the dice" as it were.

Anyway, I hope that gives you some guidance.

This is something of an unanswered question for me as well. It's not clear to me yet that the player development model includes stamina. However, some very knowledgeable people have discussed this, so maybe one of them will weigh in on this thread at some point.
