Fact is, hamstring injuries often occur when other muscle groups in that chain are not in good enough condition, causing an imbalance that leads to the hammies giving out, either in the form of a strain or tear. It's indeed quite possible that if LF had his quads and/or glutes in better condition, he wouldn't have suffered the hammie hit. 

And, what's with the hostility, bro? I didn't throw shade your way or carry an angry tone. Chill, baby, it's all good.

Aside from the super obvious part where you’re a squealers fan talking out of your [BLEEP] on a Jags board- 
You were also presented with quotes that the player was in premier condition when he reported for camp. This refuted your ill-informed implication that his conditioning caused the injury - but you continued to tout your arm chair medical expertise.

I'm not just a Steelers' fan; I live here at the beaches right off A1A. I've lived in this community for years. And you don't see me all angry and calling this team the "Jag Offs" as you have penned my team the "Squealers." I have been nothing but friendly and civil while you continue to be caustic. You don't resemble the folks I interact with here - whom the vast majority are completely friendly and polite, even when I'm wearing Steeler gear. As a matter of fact, I was just at Lucky's market, and had all kinds of friendly discussions with Jag fans (while I was adorned in a Steeler sweatshirt); it's a refreshing difference compared to being in western PA, where a much high % of folks are angry, bitter and caustic. 

And, apparently you didn't bother to read the article I linked: Hammie injuries are often caused from the imbalance of development of the quads and glutes, creating an imbalance to that chain of muscles. In other words, it may matter not if your weight and cardio are up to par; a weakness to those chains would still cause hammies to go on the fritz. If LF didn't do due diligence of leg/glute work, with squats, deadlifts and the like, that could indeed lead to hammie injuries. 

It is too simplistic to judge "being in shape" by body weight alone. If you study the subject, you will realize this. Louie Simmons is an iconic figure in athletic performance training. Study his principles and you will gain knowledge into the subject.
