## Description

Your player is back from injury, but will he play his normal snaps? See how often starters played less than half their usual snap share in their first game back, compared with their third game back, broken down by how many games they missed.

The longer the layoff, the bigger the risk. League-wide, 12% of starters coming off a one-game absence play under half their normal snaps in game 1. After missing 4 or more games, that jumps to 25%, and by game 3 it falls back to 12%.

Filter by position and injury. Starters only, since 2016. Updated weekly.
