Josh Allen advocates for NFL stadiums to transition to natural grass

Summary

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has called for the NFL to replace artificial turf with natural grass at stadiums. Speaking to the media before the Bills' preseason finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers, Allen emphasized the health benefits of grass, citing personal injury discomfort from turf. While 16 NFL teams currently use turf, Allen expressed frustration at still having to play on it, especially as the Bills will face turf teams during the season. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell acknowledged a divided opinion among players on the matter, stating some prefer turf for its speed. The transition to grass could take time given current field conditions across the league.
