Did Trevon Diggs tear his ACL practicing indoors (turf) or outside (grass)?

[America's Cowboy]

Does anyone know? Appreciate any accurate information. Could answer some questions.

It was outside on the grass practice field at the Star.

It was the outside grass field. They are preparing for the Cardinals game which is a grass field.

Thanks, guys. Wow, I would have thought indoors since so many players are getting injured playing on turf. Guess it doesn't matter much whether on turf or grass?

It didn't yesterday.

Glad you asked this because I thought the Star had artificial turf.

I think this is exactly what the league will say. In fact, I'm pretty sure Digg's injury will be noted as a reminder in the future.

Thats my feelings too. I do not think the injury differential will be that much to ever go 100% grass. Injuries will happen regardless.

But seems like majority of players prefer the feel of grass. Do the owners care enough??, prob not.

The only reason the rates are higher on turf over grass is because more stadiums are turf over grass.
Some pundits want to skew the numbers though.

It seems there are more turf stadiums though, are there?. Even in college possibly, for the bigger programs?

Or dancing on his birthday?

 

[Cowboy_svt]

i wonder if it was weak already and wouldve happened later this season anyway?

I took a tour of Man City’s soccer stadium last week. They have a natural grass field but there is a weaving underneath it to make sure the blades always stand up. So even nataural grass fields may have some artificial components to them.

Go Cowboys!

You are swallowing some propaganda.

When they talk about %s you don't think those are adjusted for the fact that there are slightly more stadiums with turf than grass? Only the dumbest of analysts would interpret data in that manner.

I'm no expert but I don't see how it makes a difference. It comes down to whether your foot can slide out in the direction you knee wants to go, or not. If one surface has more traction than the other, it can be mitigated by the shoes you choose.

I injured mine skiing back when bindings had two settings. Too lose or too tight.

Probably a lot of reasons why grass is easier than turf but I'm not sure these knee injuries are one.

Those grass field be dangerous. They need to outlaw them in the nfl.

More injuries sustained on natural grass fields than field Turf...

no propaganda. I know what is real and what is not.
There are some pretty dumb and biased people out there.
As well some with agendas.

I'm not sure that's true but the torn ACL happens on any surface where the knee can get torqued the wrong way. I remember Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's response when he was asked why he continued to wear low-top shoes even after mid and high tops became all the rage. His response was that bracing the ankle that strongly shifted the torque up the leg to the knee and he'd rather roll an ankle than blow out a knee any day.
