Unless you are the Patriots. I don't think they have ever told the truth on an injury report. :)

If you were an NFL coach, you could manipulate the line in Vegas by saying you starting QB/RB was actually going to start when in reality they had a torn whatever. Keep the line high in your favor, place your bet on the other side and then dump the other stiff in there to start.

Make a killing...assuming you don't get caught. :D

Why would you tell people LT and Boldin might not play or are dinged up? Why not make people think they are 100% and dress them on game day, acting is if everything is fine, even if they don't play. The NFL needs a little playoff NHL mentality.

If a guy can't play, they won't dress him to try and "fool" the other team. The team needs every roster spot available to play.

The injury report is for nothing other than Vegas and Fantasy football. Coaches are smart enough to gameplan for any ans all possibilities.
