Geno probably wanted to show the CS that he could play by standing instead of sitting. I've seen guys with a hurt knee standing on the sidelines before. This happened with Jay Cutler a few years ago and caught a lot of heat for it by both the fans and media.
last year was a truly extraordinary year in terms of the lack of injuries. We didn't lose anyone and it was an amazing example of luck. This year we are seeing what most NFL seasons are like and good NFL teams get through it. The Green Bay Packers are playing without a single running back (4-2), The Minnesota Vikings have lost their starting QB, their HOF RB, both starting tackles and a backup, and their starting nose guard (5-1). that's why last year was such a lost opportunity. cake schedule, freakishly low amount of injuries, weakened top of the conference, and no playoffs
