If you're unaware, virtually every player who's been on the cover of EA Sports' Madden NFL game has been injured in the same year their cover was released - From Michael Vick to Shuan Alexander. Even Brett Favre tore his bicep part way through last season. He played through the pain, but his effectiveness dropped dramatically.
This year, Pittsburgh Steeler Troy Polamalu sprained his MCL in the first game. He'll be out 3-6 weeks. But the twist is that Larry Fitzgerald is also on the cover, which means there could be more to come. Who do the VooDoo that Madden's proved true? It remains a mystery.
