Our researchers from the Minds Matter Concussion Program and the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at CHOP partnered with the National Football League (NFL), the NFL Players Association, and Biocore LLC to learn more about injuries related to the facemask, and these findings suggest that redesigns could help minimize injuries for players of all ages of the sport.
