Probably has more to do with equipment, age and fatigue. Players have gone with lightweight shoes that have less support. As you get older your flexibility diminishes, which is why it happens to older players more often. From training camp through the first month of practice players are extremely fatigued which can be a factor. Iit comes to basically the bad luck of putting pressure on the ligament at just the right(wrong) way and something has to give.
