Somewhat off topic but how many of those happened on turf and on grass. Curious in the name of science

I did read an article a year or two ago that was studying the types of joint injuries between turf and grass and what the study actually found was that more joint/ligament injuries happen on teams that go back and forth between the two than they do on players who practiced/played specifically on one type. It was pretty interesting. It made me think about the GSOT and how many stadiums had grass back then. I tried to look it up prior to posting this, but I couldn’t find it.

I read a similar article when this topic came up last year. The disparity between these injuries on turf and on grass isn't as vast as some people think.

Yeah the 9ers might have several SB wins by now if only........Buzzzzzzz!......

It appears the 9ers have only a few healthy DE's to play the Rams. Bosa returning to his first action since his knee injury last season. The plan was just to utilize him in non run downs might get thrown out the window knowing Bosa. I need to remind myself that its winter down under & a re-constructed knee might not feel the same there as in a summer in CA.

I would guess Rams O will see a ton of 4 yr vet Keion White & Rookie Romello Height as the primary defensive ends behind Boza. Back ups might be 4 yr vet Khalid Kareem & two rookies Vincent Anthony & Mikail Kamara. I know nothing about any of them other than Rookie Height is said to be special. PS DE Ogbo Okoronkwo is a likely call up.

True, but the NFL has the money to ensure all playing fields are grass plus with the amount of money spent on players the goal should be to provide the safest option possible.

I did not know vincent anthony was on the 9ers. Had him mocked to the Rams on day 3. Very athletic and with some needed development could end up a significant find for the 9ers.
I don’t know how much he can handle just yet.

Oko is still around? Why does it have to be on the 9ers? STs guy too.

The NFL and it's teams don't own the majority of the stadiums the city/county/people own most of the stadiums in their cities. If they and the owners cared they could change things.
