Are they just asking people what they see and remember because most officials aren't going to know about a sprain or strain or contusion at the time it happens its going to be in the days following . . .
Or are they using an arbitrary statement like "among the leading causes" because they can't technically be wrong but don't have any valid evidence . ..
I don't mind making rebounding action a POE but I would like a rationale for anything to be a little more grounded in evidence then the information provided.

As I recall from seeing other releases on football and baseball, they indeed do have a long-standing and well-maintained injury database going back quite a few years. Now, of course, it's only as good as the input data but that would be true of any study.
Edited to add: Here's further information on the study...one of the sponsors is the CDC.
