## Resource

Tight end George Kittle is sounding the alarm on NFL turf fields, arguing the league should switch back to grass for player safety—especially after both he and Panthers’ Jonathon Brooks suffered devastating non-contact injuries at Lincoln Financial Field. Backed by the NFLPA’s data showing 28% higher lower-body injury rates on turf, and with players overwhelmingly preferring grass, the debate is heating up as athletes demand safer surfaces.
