The major knee injury suffered by New York Giants star wide receiver Malik Nabers has reignited discussions about the turf playing surface at MetLife Stadium.
One executive from an opposing team said this week that, due to the FieldTurf playing surface, his players are "petrified" of playing at MetLife. The executive added that if a player is nursing an injury, he might be less apt to play through it for a game at MetLife.
Others also are aware and equally concerned. NFL Players Association interim executive director David White was in Newark, New Jersey, on Monday for a scheduled visit with the Giants as part of his fall team meetings, and while he was there, he raised the issue about MetLife's turf field and its ongoing history of season-ending lower extremity injuries.
