In Week 11 of the 2022 NFL season, Wan'Dale Robinson, a rookie wide receiver for the New York Giants, sustained a knee injury at MetLife Stadium while playing the Detroit Lions. Robinson had a career-high nine receptions for 100 yards in the fourth quarter when he was tackled close to the sideline, and his knee gave out. He hit the ground instantly, gripping his knee in agony. His promising first season was cut short when an MRI revealed a torn ACL. Given that multiple players, including Robinson's teammate Sterling Shepard (mentioned earlier in this article) earlier that season, had sustained comparable injuries on the same field, this injury further fueled ongoing discussions about the safety of MetLife Stadium's artificial turf. Advocates and athletes have persisted in demanding a switch to natural grass.
