George Kittle's wife Claire advocates for NFL rule changes on player safety

Claire Kittle, wife of 49ers tight end George Kittle, urged for significant NFL rule changes during an appearance on The Rich Eisen Show. She called for replacing turf fields with grass to reduce joint injuries and advocated for two bye weeks during the season to aid player recovery. Highlighting George's struggles on artificial turf, she noted how it increases soreness and prolongs recovery time after games. Claire also criticized certain roughing the passer penalties, questioning their relevance if not impacting the ball. Her proposals aim to enhance player safety and longevity in the sport.
