I was wondering if it was a strategy to maybe just make that leg hurt a bit, and hope he misses. Not saying a SERIOUS injury, I'm just saying maybe like a pain that would come if someone kicked you in the shin lol.
But yeah when I watched it live, to me it came across as a strategy.
As someone in the PFT comments pointed out, he was probably trying to prevent the kicker from getting a free practice kick.
If he were really trying to injure, he could've done far worse.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
