Aaron Rodgers' former teammate David Bakhtiari calls out NFL after Jets QB gets injured vs. Bills (www.cbssports.com)

Bakhtiari, who spent 10 seasons as Rodgers' teammate in Green Bay, immediately pointed out that he thought that the turf was to blame for the injury. A few moments later, the veteran offensive lineman called out the NFL for not getting rid of artificial turf. Bakhtiari's biggest issue seemed to be the fact that a bunch of NFL stadiums will be installing grass for the upcoming 2026 World Cup, which is something they haven't been willing to do for NFL teams even though players have been asking the league for years to install grass at every stadium.

The turf issue at MetLife Stadium specifically has been a nightmare over the past few years. Multiple teams have complained about the turf, including the 49ers, who watched five different players get injured during a 2020 game against the Jets.

Keep in mind the source, but this NFLPA essay https://nflpa.com/posts/nfl-approach-field-surface-uneven summarizes the arguments pretty well. The IQVIA (the company agreed by NFL and NFLPA to do injury statistics) chart is particularly clear https://nflpaweb.blob.core.windows.net/website/Departments/Communications/Image5.jpeg
