What I find interesting about this list is the injury concentration in position groups. While the OL has been decimated, the WR, TE and DL position groups have largely been untouched.  If the absence of Turley is the cause of injuries, why are some position groups healthy and others unhealthy?  My theory is that injuries are mostly random and we had bad luck for them to concentrate in the areas where we had the least amount of depth (OL and ILB). That is an inconvenient theory for message boards as there is no one to point fingers at.

the lack of depth at the positions hit hardest by injuries is in fact pointing a finger (or fingers) in terms of roster management and recruiting decisions/effort.  too many reps by too few players will add up over time especially given the situation with our training (not S&C) staff.
