(1) Player is injured in the game but not added to the injury list. This might be becasue the order in which things get done in the coding as a game is completed might "miss" the routine that record the injury in the boxscore or injury listing. If this is the case, Markus should be able to find it by tracing all the possibilities as a game is completed.

(2) In this case, Markus may ahave actually included "of field" injuries, but hasn't yet added all the code to capture them. If this is what's happening, thn I'm sure it will be added going forward.
Well, I just a had a player go down today with a Mystery Injury for 7 weeks--a Cold!!! Don't think this was an in-game injury that wasn't "captured", or was it...? Could the game have been played in Toronto and the player caught the mystery injury for which the AI had no recognition except to call it a Cold? It's SARS!!!! The game is self-updating apparently .

In all seriousness, a 100% disabling 7 week Cold? I checked the injury file and there is no possibilty of a 100% disabling 7 week Cold--it's only 5% for 2 to 5 days. So there must be something else happening than an "uncaptured" injury.

Also saw another player today go down with a mystery injury-a torn hamstring for 6 weeks.
