Jalen Hurts was miraculously saved this seasonAs a full crowd of people was going to fall on his legs and would have caused a rather serious injury to the QB of Philaelphia Eagles, fortunately he reacted quickly and was able to step aside.
But another six did not suffer the same fate and it is that it is not only the field, It is a sector of the field where there have been four injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), two to the leg and one more to the hip. But we reiterate, it is only in one part of the field.
All these injuries have occurred between the 10 and 30 yard on the left side of the field, just start the injuries to the left of the letter N of the league logo in the middle of the field and for us to explain ourselves better, here is the image.

Who are the injured players?
Joe Burrow – Anterior cruciate ligament
Possibly in his second year in the NFL he is one of the best quarterbacks in the league and has a good chance with the Bengals to reach the Super Bowl, but a year ago things were not looking good for Joe Burrow. On a visit to FedEx Field, Washington field, he suffered an ACL injury.
This injury is a very common one among NFL players and is that no one is exempt. For Joe Burrow this injury was very serious, because there was talk of even a possible early retirement, but fortunately it was not like that and he came back stronger than ever.

Adrian Peterson – Anterior cruciate ligament
In 2012, Adrian Peterson was one of the best running backs in the NFL, but everything changed when he visited the Washington field. A knee injury kept him off the field, again the ACL that plagues many players at FedExField.
Peterson planted his leg on the ground just as a tackle by Washington perimeter player DeJon Gomes forced the running back’s knee inward and slightly forward as well.. As Adrian Peterson had his leg planted at the moment of impact, his knee did not withstand the blow.

Kyle Allen – ankle injury
Apparently FedEx Field has something against the home QBs, because there are several who have suffered this “curse”. Kyle Allen was one of them and similar to Alex Smith, the ankle was the one injured in a 2020 game against the Giants.
It was a circumstantial move, because uA defensive leg hit Kyle Allen on his left leg, causing an ankle injury that led directly to surgery. It is still part of Washington today.
