LEAGUE STUDYING INJURIES ON NEW SURFACES
Source: Unknown
At a time when there have been an alarming number of injuries during the first week of the NFL season, a league source tells us that the NFL is studying the possible connection between foot, leg, and ankle injuries, and the newer playing surfaces that involve synthetic blades of grass.
Per the source, the question is whether changes need to be made to the footwear used on these surfaces.
And the study, we're told, has been expedited. At the end of the day, the decision could be that no changes are needed. But there's enough of a concern to at least prompt the league to explore it.
