Why did we use Elijah Davis 3 star freshman RB on a kick off and hope he is not injured to bad on the turf toe it appears.
Any updates?

Because you put good athletes on the field? We can’t wrap them in bubble wrap.

Started off as turfs fault but maybe not

Turf toe injuries increased in the 1970s when football players began playing on artificial turf instead of grass. Artificial turf is a firmer surface than natural grass and has less give. There is also an increase in turf toe injuries over the past few years. This increase may be due to more flexible and lighter shoes and the interaction between the hard surface and the shoe itself.

It also says don't have your heel too high off the ground, i.e. like a track starting block

Because you only travel 70 and because Davis is needed on the RB depth chart, he had to play special teams.
