George Kittle, Nick Chubb Tweet Petition to Ban Turf After Odell Beckham Jr. Injury

After Los Angeles Rams receiver Odell Beckham Jr. suffered a non-contact injury to his left knee in Super Bowl LVI against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday, multiple NFL players took to social media to voice their displeasure with playing on artificial turf.

In particular, Cleveland Browns running back Nick Chubb and San Francisco 49ers George Kittle initiated a call-to-action by tweeting out a petition for the NFL to ban artificial turf in favor of real grass.

Chubb noted that the issue is personal because he sprained his MCL while playing on artificial turf.
