Seventy-two percent (n = 231) had history injuries, with total 287 (1.24 injuries/player injured). The most common lateral sprain 115), syndesmotic (50), metatarsophalangeal dislocation/turf toe (36), fibular fracture (25). Foot kickers/punters (100% incidence), special teams (100%), running backs (83%), wide receivers offensive linemen (80%). Lateral sprains, treated surgically only 2.6% time.
