NFL Achieves Historic Low in Preseason Concussions, Marking a Significant Milestone in Player Safety Efforts
The NFL recorded its lowest preseason concussion count since 2015, with 44 incidents, a 24% drop from last year. This decline is attributed to rule changes, equipment innovations like the Guardian Cap, and other safety measures. A new kickoff rule reduced overall injuries, and nearly 99% of players now wear high-performance helmets.
