A revelation has been made by the NFL of players being injured. The NFL executive Vice President of football operations, Troy Vincent, said there were no injuries on the play in 2024.
There were many questions about the injury rate, which was picked up by the Packers general manager Brian Gutenkust. Gutenkust admitted that he did not really give the play much importance though he did for the team.
In a statement, Gutenkust said, “I know we’re not very successful against it. I know that. To be honest about it, I haven’t really put much thought into it. It’s been around for a while.”
“We used it in different fashions with our tight end. Again, I think there will be a lot of discussions about it. I gotta kind to look at the information as far as injury rates, and things like that. But we’ll see, he further added.”

There were different opinions over the injury rate. Addressing a press conference on Tuesday afternoon, the Eagle's head coach Nick Sirianni that it is insulting when some people act like an automatic play.

During the press conference he said, “I think when you look at that, because we’ve looked into that too, there weren’t a lot of injuries there.” “I think that’s a little made up, to be honest. Now the numbers will tell the truth, but I don’t think there were many injuries with it this year.”
Nick Sirianni said, “I mean, I can’t remember one injury we had on that play, and we ran it more than everybody else. And so, yeah, the injury numbers, the league will have that, and the injury numbers will come out on that, and I’m all for player safety, but I don’t think that that play (is dangerous). I think that’s just something that was said.”
Some report says that the Eagles can be excellent at quarterback as they have a meticulous offensive line and has a strong backup quarterback named Jalen Hurts. Different opinions continue over injury rate row with some top coach of Falcons’s named Raheem Morris who feels that they should have been banned three years ago.
