On week one of the 2023-24 NFL season, Aaron Rodgers took his fourth snap and awkwardly planted on the Metlife turf, causing his Achilles to tear. With Rodgers out for the season, the Jets highly anticipated season seemed over before it even began. This injury also reignited the question of the use of artificial turf in NFL stadiums. Both the NFLPA and many NFL players are still keen on replacing all turf with natural grass due to fear of its high injury rate, especially in lower extremity injuries and foot and ankle in particular.
