Mandatory Knee Braces

[*TheLeonardLeap*]

Should the Bengals force their OL, DTs, and Joe Burrow wear knee braces to try to prevent knee injuries or at least turn potentially serious injuries into minor ones?

The Patriots for years have been requiring their OL to wear knee braces. After Brady got his knee blown out, he's worn a knee brace ever since at Robert Kraft's express request.

That's the OL, DTs, and Burrow that have finished the season with knee injuries the last 5 seasons. That's not including the guys who got hurt for a couple weeks in the beginning/middle or even were just dinged up that potentially could have been prevented.

I'm not saying that it's a cure, or even that it'll make a huge difference. I'm just saying maybe they need to think about it. A lot of colleges mandate them for practice and games. I know there's been some NFL teams that mandate them for practice but not games. I just knew that the Patriots have done it for their OL for years now.
