Offseason injury healing all occurs between the time you hit the End Season button and the the time you enter the Coach Hiring phase of the game. Injuries do not heal throughout free agency, for example. They then start healing again in Preseason Week 1. Someone posted that the average real amount of time between Super Bowl Sunday and preseason week 1 is 25 weeks. When last checked (back in March), players with serious injuries were healing somewhere between 15-25 weeks when the End Season button was pushed. I can't see any real patterns as to why some guys heal more than others. Anyone else see any? All I can say for sure is that in my relatively short career, players have healed between 15-25 weeks during the offseason.
