History

Historical Context

The NFL's "no-fault" injury policy, introduced in 1970, aimed to enhance player safety, particularly for vulnerable positions like quarterbacks. This policy emerged after high-profile injuries, including the 1973 Hackbart case, which led to significant rule changes. In 2021, quarterbacks accounted for 20% of reported injuries, underscoring ongoing safety concerns, as exemplified by Bryce Young's recent ankle injury against the Jets.
