April 30, 2018 - NFL Injuries

4/30/2018

🏈MOST COMMON FOOTBALL INJURIES

🔹The NFL draft is this week! Here’s a recap on the top injuries we see in the sport:
1️⃣Knee Injuries - most common at 22%, mostly traumatic injuries from the cutting, running and impact of football. Ligament and meniscus tears are really common and often end careers

2️⃣Ankle Injuries - can range from minor sprains to major fractures. Make up 15% of injuries

3️⃣Upper Leg - a combination of strains and impact injuries. Of course Hamstring Strains make up a majority of these (almost 100)

4️⃣Shoulder - common at 8%, happens a lot from quarterbacks being driven into the ground by rushers
5️⃣Head Injuries - the most infamous at around 7% because of long term effects.

🔷Football players have to withstand huge forces during a season, hence the recovery time of 1 week between games so that tissues can heal.
