That's not on the league. That's on the teams.

The game is getting more and more physical taxing as players get bigger and stronger, and equipment gets lighter so players can play faster. Thats the natural injury stuff Goodell cant avoid. Thursday night football is a horrendous idea for player safety. That the league is very seriously entertaining more games shows they don't give a shit about the injury risk that comes with longer seasons. they also are pushing a zero tolerance very punitive rule on Marijuana while pumping these players with truckloads of painkillers. Other leagues have drastically changed their drug policy to reflect that. That is 1000% on the league and shows both cluelessness and how little they care about player safety if it gets in the way of making an extra buck. The only damn reason the NFL even tried to do anything about player safety is because they wanted pr damage control.
