AP Survey: NFL players question teams' attitudes on health
FILE - In this Nov. 15, 2015, file photo, Philadelphia Eagles' Josh Huff (13) is tackled by Miami Dolphins' Michael Thomas, right, during the second half of an NFL football game in Philadelphia. Ever watched an NFL game and thought a running back might have stepped out of bounds to avoid a hit for fear of getting injured? Or wondered whether a receiver failed to make a catch because he held up ever so slightly? Or a linebacker didn't deliver quite as big a wallop as he could? Players around the league say they notice these things, too. Frequently, even. So much so that they've coined a term for it. "A lot of people make 'career decisions' all the time," Thomas said with a laugh. "It's a joke, but we call those 'career decisions' when people do those." (AP Photo/Michael Perez, File)

Rather than crediting particularly proficient care from the four teams he's been with, Smith says he managed to suit up week after week after week thanks in large part to the extra care he arranges on his own.
