US EditionWhat NFL Fans Think About the League's Efforts to Reduce Injuries, According to a New Poll
A Quinnipiac poll shows 60% of NFL fans support adding an 18th regular-season game despite injury risks and ongoing safety efforts by the league.

- Several star players, including Tyreek Hill, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, Malik Nabers, and Cam Skattebo, have suffered season-ending injuries this current NFL season nearing midpoint, while some injuries occur without contact.
