GRASS OR TURF? Of the 32 teams in the NFL, 16 teams still play on artificial turf, but new data from the NFL Players Association shows there's a notable difference in non-contact injuries between the two playing surfaces.

Data provided by the National Football League Players Association showed that during the 2022 NFL season, players suffered more non-direct contact injuries on turf than natural grass.

"Grass is a significantly safer surface than turf," JC Tretter, NFLPA president and author of the online post, said.
