I'm sure this is asked each year but indulge me...

In reading through the Injury reports for the week, I looked at this one in particular for Reuben Droughns:

 

Reuben Droughns, RB, CLE

Shoulder Injury

 

Huddle Up: The results of an MRI performed on the shoulder of Browns' RB Reuben Droughns have not been made public, but the injury is significant enough to keep him out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday and he's officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Ravens. Head coach Romeo Crennel has declined to comment on Droughns' injury. According to local newspaper reports in Cleveland the team is preparing to play without him, so maybe you should consider doing the same thing. If Droughns doesn't play look for rookie Jerome Harrison to get a significant amount of playing time.

 

So what are the rules that NFL coaches are supposed to follow in disclosing injuries? And what are the consequneces for not adhering to those rules?

But injury report is all about Vegas and setting the line ... and has nothing to do with football.

I was under the impression that the league had certain requirements for disclosing injuries. I'm sure that it's the case. I just don't know the details.

That may be the case ... it's something like doubtful = 50%, OUT = 25% chance to play

 

Regardless ... injury report ONLY exists to feed the Vegas line.
