Sure you can. by WilfordBrimley

The likelihood of injury is directly correlated with snap count over the course of a season. That should be pretty obvious, but linked is an analysis Football Outsiders did on just that.

Games against Bowling Green and the like both have fewer snaps - as the dominant teams spend the second half running out the clock - and a much more even distribution of snaps over the roster.

If your starting 22 are playing 50+ snaps every single week, then that's shit for the health of your team.
