During week 2 of the 2020-21 NFL season, Nick Bosa was getting blocked by Jets tight end Trevon Wesco when his left knee seemed to give out, folding inwards. This resulted in Bosa tearing his ACL and being out for the remainder of the season. At the time, being 22 years old, Bosa was one of the bright young defensive stars, and this injury put his career on hold. This injury further supports the turf issue and its rising occurrence rate, specifically the MetLife turf. While some “experts” argued that the contact involved was a leading cause of the injury, it cannot be ignored that cleats can become stuck in the turf surface, putting athletes at a higher risk of injury than the one sustained by Bosa.
