History

Historical Context

In 2013, the NFL introduced stricter concussion protocols in response to growing concerns over player safety and long-term health risks. This shift forced teams to adapt their strategies, particularly when injuries to key players, like Tre'Davious White and Christian Benford of the Buffalo Bills, necessitated the recruitment of veteran cornerbacks. Such challenges underscore the ongoing impact of player health on team performance in professional football.
