Been reported several places. Including here https://www.si.com/nfl/audibles/2013/12/26/bill-belichick-nfl-offseason-workout-limits
Awesome. That's from 2013. Or half the data. Where's the rest of it? You made the claim, prove it.

The NFL made hits to the head and neck a point of emphasis in 2010. So are the increased injuries because of less practice time or because players aim for the knees instead of the head as a result of the rule changes which preceded the CBA by a year?
Let's check what the peanut gallery has to say. Here's one guy who claims players are targeting knees because of the rule changes . . .

And here's another guy claiming the rules to reduce concussions will increase other injuries . . .

How would more practice have prevented Mike Williams' herniated disc? How would more practice have prevented Forest Lamp's torn ACL? More practice wouldn't have prevented either of those injuries because they are the result of trauma. More practice won't make discs herniated less or ACLs rupture less.
What do the Chargers medical staff have a history of? Not having anything to do with preventing Williams' herniated disc or Lamp's torn ACL? Or not having anything to do with the CBA practice rules? Or nothing to do with your original comment? They have a history of a lot of things. You need to be more specific.
