I can understand that. It's the injury length, I guess. Makes it seem like a joke to see that your starting safety was struck down by testicular cancer and is now questionable for the next 3 weeks.

But if it's only in the table and doesn't appear in the game, that would mean it's coded not to appear, right? So how does leaving it in the table help someone use it? I obviously don't know enough about programming.
