Packers players weigh in on safety of slit turf, call for all grass fields

Not only did the Green Bay Packers suffer a brutal defeat at the hands of the Detroit Loss two weeks ago, but they also lost their star pass rusher, Rashan Gary, for the rest of the season. Perhaps, the injury could have been avoided if the Lions weren’t one of seven teams playing on “slit turf.” The injury making waves around the NFL also prompted multiple teammates to speak up.

“As much as I’ve enjoyed playing indoors over the years on turf, I do think it’s time to go all grass throughout the league,” Aaron Rodgers said Tuesday.
