Yes it is true that it can prevent injury, however... the players that wear them predominantly to prevent injury are OL. They don't have to worry as much about agility and flexibility as other position groups. I will tell you, when I tore my knee up and had to wear a brace after it on the football field, it limited my maneuverability. Probably not an ideal situation for a DE.
