If a guy has an injury and is out 6 weeks, that means he doesn't really even get to practice until that time is over. He isn't 100% healthy yet. For example, if you've ever broken a bone and had to have a cast, it still takes a while after you get the cast off to be able to use that arm/leg fully.

Even if the guy is 'doubtful' you can still play him by going to the injury screen while playing a game. It just means he's not 100% yet (and maybe is at a risk of re-injury).

Personally, I don't think there are nearly enough minor week to week, gameday decisions. I know in the NFL there are always a bunch of guys on the injury report listed as questionable or probably with nagging injuries like hamstrings or back problems that you don't really see in the games. There should be more multiple-week injuries that guys can still play through (at a slightly lower level).
