History

Historical Context

The NFL's focus on player safety intensified after the 2005 discovery of chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former player Mike Webster's brain. Following the 2011 implementation of stricter concussion protocols, nearly 30% of former players reported cognitive issues. Today, teams like the Carolina Panthers continue to address injury management, highlighting ongoing concerns about player health and its impact on performance.
