Players will disappear on the board from time to time as they are not shown while they have an injury. This is very common to see if you read a news story that says they got hurt, they will basically not be on the board until draft day at this point.
This makes sense as you cannot really scout a guy who is on the sideline injured and not playing.

My assumption at this point is that several players actually have stories attached to them, however the game only chooses to tell some of them. So other actions may happen due to those stories even without the user knowing what is going on.
