| Core Tip |
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic presented a unique disruption to preseason National Football League (NFL) football with the cancelation of all preseason games. This study compared the incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears through the first eight weeks of the NFL season in 2020 to the mean incidence over the previous 5 seasons and found that there was indeed an increase in ACL tears through the first four games of the 2020 season with no significant difference when accounting for the preseason. This suggests that there may be front-loading of injuries over the course of an NFL season. In summary, this study suggests that if preseason games are eliminated, players can expect similar rates of ACL tears overall when compared to conventional seasons, but with more ACL tears in the first four weeks of the regular season. |
