David Bakhtiari rips NFL over Aaron Rodgers injury
David Bakhtiari was very critical of the NFL's stance on using artificial turf. The former Colorado Buffaloes standout pointed out how the league refuses to care about player safety and linked it back to Aaron Rodgers' ankle injury during the MNF game with the Buffalo Bills.
"Congrats @nfl. How many more players have to get hurt on ARTIFICIAL TURF??! You care more about soccer players than us. You plan to remove all artificial turf for the World Cup coming up. So clearly it’s feasible.
I’m sick of this..Do better!"
The Packers All-Pro has been injury for a significant portion of the past few years. Bakhtiari spent ten years with Rodgers in Green Bay before he was traded to the New York Jets this past offseason. The former MVP was also in Bakhtiari's wedding out in California last year.
Rodgers played six snaps in Monday night's game before he was injured. He was helped off the field by his Jets teammates before being placed on a cart and taken to the locker room.
