NFL's 5 healthiest, most injured teams; inside turf vs. grass injury ... (FOXSports.com)

Dr. Matt Provencher explains how turf vs. grass impacts injuries. And which NFL teams are healthy and which are ailing?

[ National Football League](/stories/nfl/odds-week-9-how-to-bet-titans-chiefs-pick) [ThePredictors.com](https://www.fantasypredictors.com/about-us), deliver data-driven injury insights to football fans.
