The unknown DtD injuries are just a pain, although they do map real life pretty well I think. If a guy’s playing well through one, especially if the effects are Minimal, sure, keep them in the lineup. The main thing those affect, aside from the sometimes small effect on ratings, is their chances of being injured in the future. But yeah they can linger on and on and on. It’s frustrating but they do happen in the actual game too: how often do you hear about a guy who’s got some sort of hand injury he’s just going to play through before getting it worked on at the end of the year, for example, or the guy who is sitting out with something innocuous like a strained hamstring that just won’t go away? Resting does help but I think it just increases the daily chance that the unknown duration will expire or (occasionally) turn into a known length injury (I think more often it goes the other way around - playing a player through a week long injury turns it into a chronic one).

I get that it’s nice to know these things but I think as it is we know way too much about how long an injury is going to last tbh.
