I'm pretty sure both CMC and Horns injuries are due to new field

Yes but the wear and tear factor of artificial turf can't be ignored. Both were non contact injuries coming from two weeks on turf. Not to mention multiple groin pulls as well which are minor but are also non contact injuries. 

If 2 games constitute wear and tear among nfl players, you’d see players dropping left and right all across the league.  
 

injuries happen.  It’s not because of the field.  It’s because both players play an extreme sport where injuries happen.

You practice on the surface you Play on that week typically. 

We had turf in college. But if we were going away to a grass field we would practice on the grass practice field that week.

Is that also true at the pro level? I genuinely don't know, but I can see teams wanting to keep their stadium fields that will be on tv and seen by 60k fans in the stands as pristine as possible.

You could make an easier case that years of running and making quick cuts and stops in cleats possibly created a bunch of microfractures in Jaycee's feet. It was just a matter of time before these took enough stress to give out. It's not exciting but it happens to a lot of top tier athletes. It even hit Michael Jordan and may have led to the end of his career (and probably Greg Olsen's too). Hopefully Horn will heal quickly and completely. 

On CMC, you've got a case where a guy's work out gains have been massive in recent years and even though he is as physically fit as you can imagine a human to be, the muscles might have exceeded the tendon loads. Basically, the guy fell victim to his own swoleness. Luckily, it doesn't seem that severe right now, so some rest and rehab should get him back out there. 

A guy CMC's size wasn't built to have Earl Campbell thighs. And yet there he was, killing it.

You typically have multiple practice fields

If your stadium is grass you have an identical practice field that's grass.

If your stadium is turf you have an identical practice field that's turf.

If your stadium is grass you will also have a turf practice field for away games.

 

But it would be stupid to practice on grass at home all week if your home stadium is field turf. Everything will feel different on game day that way.

 

It would be like practicing on Bermuda greens for the two weeks leading up to the Masters Everything will feel off.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
