already a life altering, career ending leg breaking injury in week 1 of preseason.

ravens cb, leg went completely sideways.

1980-2020: 4 complete leg breaks (you know all 4, very infamous
2020-2023: 35 complete leg breaks
2024 (last season): 14 leg breaks
2025 (season hasnt even started): 1

why is this so common now? we averaged almost 1 per week last season. now we are getting them before the season even starts.
did nfl focus too much on concussions (2 week injury) and not these life altering leg breaks (year long+ recovery, quality of life impacted permanently)??
