Calls for real, natural grass instead of turf at NFL stadiums have been increasing since Monday night, when quarterback Aaron Rodgers tore his achilles just minutes into his first start for the New York Jets. On Wednesday morning, the NFL Players Association added its voice to the chorus.
Lloyd Howell, the newly elected executive director of the NFLPA, released a statement calling for every NFL stadium to have natural grass and not artificial turf.
