The MetLife Stadium turf, a perennial thorn in the side of NFL players, has struck again. This time, the victim is Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons, who was carted off the field during the team’s Thursday night victory over the New York Giants.

Parsons’ injury, a high ankle sprain, is the latest in a long line of player injuries directly attributed to the MetLife Stadium field.

The playing surface has been criticized for its inconsistency and susceptibility to divots and tears, leading to numerous player complaints and concerns about the safety of the game.

The Cowboys’ injury troubles continued as Parsons was not the only player affected. Cornerback Trevon Diggs left the game due to an injury sustained while attempting a tackle and was taken to the locker room for dehydration.

Additionally, defensive end Demarcus Lawrence suffered a foot injury that will keep him sidelined for the next few weeks.

In previous years, we have witnessed some well-known players’ seasons come to an end on that very field.

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a torn Achilles last year, 49ers pass rusher Nick Bosa suffered a torn ACL in a 2020 game against the New York Jets, DT Solomon Thomas and quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo also got injured, and former Giants wide receiver Sterling Shepard tore his ACL in Week 3 of the 2022 season while running down the field.

As the NFL continues to prioritize player safety, it is imperative that league officials address the recurring issues with the MetLife Stadium field.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – On Friday, hundreds of people in northwest Atlanta woke up to flooded front yards and cars completely submerged in water.

“I think it’s just a place of gratitude that everyone here is safe. And although it’s very impactful, it could have been much worse. And that family is the most important thing. Everything is replaceable,” said Walt Deriso, who’s entire yard was flooded.

Deriso and his family decided not to evacuate as the tropical storm winds and rain of Helene approached Atlanta.

Some of Deriso’s neighbors had to be rescued by boat from the rising flood waters.

Atlanta Fire & Rescue told Atlanta News First they rescued more than 25 people, most in Buckhead and northwest Atlanta.

Fire crews did not report any serious injuries from those in flood zones in northwest Atlanta.

Along Defoors Ferry Road, a Watershed Management officials said the high water pressure from the overflowing waters of Peachtree Creek caused a sewage line to break, leading to countless gallons of raw sewage to spill into the surrounding neighborhood.

As part of the floods, a MARTA bus was stranded along Defoors Ferry Road for much of the day.

A good Samaritan helped take at least three riders to safety while the driver waited on a tow truck.

The Galloway School Baseball/Softball field was completely submerged in water. By Friday evening, the waters started to recede.

On Friday, Mayor Andre Dickens declared a state of emergency in response to the storms brought by Hurricane Helene.

I am declaring a State of Emergency for the City of Atlanta, effective immediately. This declaration will allow us to access vital federal and state resources to expedite our recovery efforts and ensure the safety and well-being of all Atlanta residents,” said Mayor Dickens, in a statement.
