Injuries - WhodeyRay - 01-05-2019
As I am watching the playoff game it made me think of our injuries this year. I notice that a lot of guys do not wear leg pads and the pants are like shorty shorts. If the league is about safety now then why not fine player for not wearing proper padding and unis that don't fit. Injuries can decimate at team as we saw this year and it also causes the owners less return on investment. I am curious if any of the injuries we had could have been caused by this.

They are not mandated and those "injuries" are few and far between. Thigh pads don't protect knee ligaments, hamstrings or prevent concussions.
