Mike McCarthy's mission is to avoid injuries

Here are a few quotes from coach McCarthy on avoiding injuries...

"I have all the confidence that we will do a better job being healthier. There's certain stress points in the camp, particularly how many days you practice in a row and what you do in those particular days. You may notice the changes, you may not. We probably have about six or seven adjustments that we'll discuss with the team tonight on how we approach training camp and I'm confident it will help us be a healthier team, which gives you a chance to practice and gain the consistency and conformity that you want coming out of training camp."
 
"We go to the night schedule in training camp for other reasons. The a.m. practice schedule is definitely one of those topics, six or seven points that I talked on earlier, that I feel will help us as a football team as far as battling potential fatigue injuries -- what every team is threatened by in a training camp schedule. We have building blocks in our program and one of them is availability and accountability, and we have not hit the target on availability two out of the last three years. It's definitely a point of emphasis."
