So I have a player in AAA who got hurt in ST with a Bulging Disc in his back. I have 20 in Medical and put him on the 90-day DL. Now he's eligible and he's been given one recovery cycle (which didn't get him back to his pre-injury vL/vR splits). Is it worth keeping him on the DL in case he gets another injury recovery cycle or would I be better off activating and playing him to get normal young player progression?

I'm aware that sometimes a player can receive multiple recovery cycles but I'm not sure if there's a time of season, injury type, or something else that makes this more likely.

I believe the DL bug has been eradicated. If you've only had one recovery cycle so far, you could try to keep him on longer to get the 2nd, but I don't know if it will get you anywhere. If he's eligible and ready to come back, that might be it.

If he's no longer injured, that's all you get. Activate him, play him and pray that he fully recovers three seasons from now.

I have gotten two recovery cycles just recently on a short injury... "bug" is still there at least sometimes. Got the guy's health to 102 temporarily.

In the words of Yogi Berra: There is no stupid trick to it. Its just a stupid trick.

Gerald Crowe is going to hit 100 for contact 92 for power and will probably have an overall rating of 75 by the time he gets off the DL. I have no idea how. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
