I find it odd that the line works out in sand. Sand is notorious for causing injuries.
 
Thought I saw Steven Jackson there for a moment.

Never heard that. I know sand strengthens certain muscles in the lower legs and feet but I had never heard of an increased injury concern. What injuries is it known for?

Blowing out knees.

Remember Robert Evans? Pats rookie RB ran for 1,115 yards and 9 TDs. Blew out his knee on the beach playing rookie bowl touch football during the pro bowl and they almost amputated his leg. He took 4 years to come back but his career was essentially over.

He was on my keeper FF team. I was pissed!

That was the end of the rookie bowl.

Not for the squeamish:

 
Just a taste...Today was open to media, so we can hope for some good stories about the practices later today.

He's a walking preview of what Jack is going to look like 5 years after his retirement.

His injury had everything to do with getting tangled up with someone rather than sand. Sand is a fantastic way to limit the impact on the limbs, strengthen your lower body, and increase cardio....soft sand that is. This isn't to say injuries can't happen, but sand is not known to be a knee killer....played beach volleyball for a few years at Huntington Beach pier in SoCal...that soft sand was fantastic...hot on the feet at first, but what a workout.
 
I used to referee sand volleyball and my calves never had a better workout than raking the sand pre-match. Good for ankle strength as well.

"Although they offer softer surfaces, running on sand or grass may actually increase the risk of injuries in runners. Although softer than pavement, sports medicine experts report more sprains, strains and even tendonitis from running on uneven and inconsistent surfaces like the beach or grass. Because each step creates varying pressures and forces in the feet, ankles, knees and hips runners most constantly adjust to the surface. Not everyone has the skill or ability to do that easily.

These natural surfaces also tend to slope, and this also creates a dangerous off-center force on the ankles and feet. Over time, running on uneven surfaces can result in tendonitis, inflammation of joints and tendons and even fractures."
