Concussions Down In The NFL In 2024
1 min agoESPN's Kevin Seifert reports that the NFL had its fewest number of concussions during the 2024 season since it began tracking the injury in 2015, according to the league. The total of 182 concussions reported during games and practices in the preseason and regular season represented a 17% drop from 2023. The previous low for the same timeframe was 187 concussions in 2022. "We're very pleased with the concussion numbers but not at all suggesting that the work is done," said Dr. Allen Sills, the NFL's chief medical officer. "We still have a lot to do to continue to make the game safer and reduce not only concussions, but to reduce avoidable head impact." The league attributed the drop in head injuries to a number of factors that included helmet quality and the mandatory use of Guardian Caps for most players during training camp and regular-season practices.
