Turn Your Helmet and Cough
Posted by Nick
There's been an alrming rise in the number of hernias football players are getting.
Dungy, who has been coaching in the NFL since 1981, finds these injuries baffling. He doesn’t remember them from his playing days in the 1970s and wasn’t even familiar with the term until about five years ago.
Today, the injury is as familiar in football terminology as high ankle sprains and turf toes, and Dungy wonders whether teams should – or could – be taking precautions to reduce sports hernias.
“We’re seeing it all the time, at all positions,” Dungy said, shaking his head. “We’ve seen it in defensive linemen, quarterbacks. I don’t have an answer for what’s going on.”
