The 33rd Team asked some of its contributors the best way for NFL players to avoid injury during training camp, preseason and the regular season. Among the responses in the video above:

• Wade Phillips believes strongly in holding out players in the preseason, especially for those who have strong practice habits.
• Marvin Lewis shares a story about a change he made to his practice week in Cincinnati after doing research on what was keeping Aaron Rodgers so fresh in Green Bay.
• Eddie George discusses the unique offseason training regimen he kept while playing in Tennessee.
• Bill Polian is a strong advocate of mandatory conditioning work before training camp starts. “Bill Parcells used to say, ‘Six weeks of strength and conditioning before they even pick up a football.”
