The main way that turf fields can affect the players is injuries. Many injuries occur on turf fields, opposed to grass fields.

What can the NFL do about it?

The best way for the NFL to avoid all of these injuries is to switch into all grass fields. Another way would be to change the material in the turf.

2) Why does turf in the NFL injure the players more than grass?

The material of the turf is much harder to land on, and much more difficult to plant your feet. Also, turf can be much more slippery, so it brings a bigger risk in the rain or snow.

3) Can the NFL realistically change all of their fields?

The NFL can absolutely make the switch from turf to grass. They have the funding, and it has been proven possible by the World Cup in 2022 when they switched all of their fields to natural grass.
