History

Historical Context

The NFL's focus on player safety intensified after 2011, when over 200 concussions were reported, prompting stricter protocols and advocacy from the NFL Players Association. This shift followed years of criticism regarding the league's handling of head injuries, highlighted by the 2009 Congressional hearings. The ongoing emphasis on safety is particularly relevant as the New York Giants face multiple injuries, including Cam Skattebo's dislocated ankle.
