New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees slammed the NFL for its “Thursday Night Football” format, saying that injuries are rampant during the games.
“It’s 100 percent a product of playing on Thursday night,” Brees said. “Do you understand what guys’ bodies go through in a game? And then to have to turn around four days later and to play? Look at the injury studies: They’re off the charts. They’re off the charts. So is this smart as it pertains to guys’ health and safety? No, absolutely not,” ESPN reported.
