Thanks for the info.

I haven't seen the statistics to be able to determine the facts versus anecdotal reports. 

The NFLPA and some players says the statistics show the field used at Paycor and similar stadiums provide greater risk to players. For the Giants, their former team captain said, "the stats have shown we are on one of the worse fields in the league, " and the NFLPA says  the type of field at Paycorr "has statistically higher in-game injury rates compared to all other surfaces."  (both from the links provided above.) 

But others dispute this. One should be able to produce the research. Whatever enhances player safety. If we are going anecdotal, Buffalo Bills are always among the least injured teams in the league and their big injury last year, Von Miller, was on the Detroit field with its surface similar to Paycor.

It also is encouraging that that the new MetLife stadium surface was substantially tested by Penn State's Center for Sports Surface Research. I would hope the Bengals, when they do change the field, go to the one with the best safety rating for players.
