The wrong call for the Pro Bowl by the NFL
The NFL had decided to change up the Pro Bowl to a game of flag football. The league came to such a conclusion after realizing the severity of injuries the offensive players like quarterbacks and wide receivers suffer. These injuries inadvertently end up hampering their teams’ capabilities during the regular season. However, it seems like this eagerness to prevent injuries has backfired with star players getting hurt either way.
It seems like the defensive end had to limp off the field during the flag football game of the Pro Bowl. While the injury might be a minor one, it remains to be seen how fast and well the star defensive end will recover.
