How is injury length calculated?

[IlluminatusUIUC]

Probably a dumb question, but I'm dying for some good news. I'm the Bills in an online franchise, and Mario Williams just got hurt in the Wild Card round. It says 4 weeks injury length.

Now, does that mean he'll miss four games or four calendar weeks? Would he be ready for the Super Bowl?

he is out for the rest of the season, its 4 weeks so div, conf, pb, sb and he is healthy after sb

stick him on IR and find someone else

That's definitely wrong. If it says 4 weeks then the WC Round is included so he would miss the WC game, the Divisional game, the Championship game, and the Pro Bowl.

But he got hurt in the WC game. Typically the only injuries I've noticed that are given a length aside from the same game short term injuries are season enders. This leads me to believe that he is seeing this injury length after the WC game during the divisional week. If that's the case, he is done for the season.

That is not correct. I've definitely had injuries that healed within the same season, but I never actually paid attention to how they were calculated.

Basically, will be miss 4 weeks or be ready in 4 weeks?

If you are in a week and it says he is injured it will include that week. So if you are still in the wild card round and on the injury report it says he is out 4 weeks it is including that week so he would be out WC, Div, Championship, and Pro bowl. If you have already advanced to the divisional round and it says he is out for 4 weeks then he is out for Div, Champ, Pro bowl, and superbowl.

In my experience he'll miss 4. I'm not sure if upping his toughness while injured reduces this. I recently upped McFadden's toughness 10-15 points and the very next game he was injured on his third rush (abdominal strain - missed a few downs) and then on his 5th carry he tore his pectoral and will be out for the season.

Remember when Madden had players who could play while injured? You could play guys who were Questionable or Probable. I wonder why they did away with that? I like it.
