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.
