I enjoy watching football and six or seven seems right, but I’d guess about half are “minor” in terms of the player being out for between one play and a game or two. My impression is that the average is about one season-ending ending injury per game (between the two teams). Which is…high, too.

It’s the quantity theory of sports injuries.
