Preventing shoulder injuries

I have two players with shoulder issues. They have been subject to the machine gym environment and fell in love with Smiths. What could I put into my dynamic warmup to encourage full range of shoulder movement.

I have never suffered any shoulder injury despite having played contact sport. I had never heard of a rotator cuff injury until recently.
