(odd, because it was 10 on main menu settings) I restarted my CFM with injuries at 15, and so far, there have been a few, but much more minor.
Believe it or not, that's actually not as unrealistic as it seems. Using the NFL's own injury statistics for 2016 there were:

143 MCL Tears (between both preseason and regular season)
56 ACL Tears (same time frame)

If you were to average that out it would be about 6.5 per team (obviously it doesn't work that way, but 4 on one team isn't out of the ordinary).
