Vassell's injured again

It's a shame for all involved. Players want to play.

I wonder if there should be a clause in a contract that states that players who miss X amount of games due to injury will be released?

It's a controversial idea and I there's plenty pros and cons, but there'll be plenty of self-employed boys on here who don't get paid if they're ill etc.

No decent player would sign such contract tho.

Yeah they'd have to get paid significantly more to make up for the risk of it. Although I believe this is the away it works in America. Not that that is any recommendation

One NFL player recently got injured at the training facility and continues to get paid whereas if injury occurred away from duty he wouldn't have.

I'm not sure American employment law is the thing to copy.

I've heard similar stories of an American sportsman who broke an ankle away from the sport, and knowing they wouldn't get paid, came onto work, forced their broken ankle into boots and arranged for one of the other players to drop some weights on the broken ankle in the weights room, so they would continue to get paid.
they recovered and were immediately released.
