5 Common Football Injuries

Concussions

Concussions are relatively common in football, but that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be taken seriously. Concussions are a type of brain injury caused by a blow to the body, which causes the brain to shift and become damaged. Due to the contact-heavy nature of football, football players are no strangers to concussions. However, the brain can become more sensitive to injury after a concussion and multiple concussions can cause irreversible brain damage.
