The NFL has gone to great lengths in recent years to improve player safety, specifically as it pertains to head injuries. It appears that the league's efforts are paying dividends, as the NFL has announced that the 2024 preseason included the fewest number of concussions for a full preseason since tracking began in 2015.

On Thursday, the NFL claimed its players suffered a total of 182 concussions during games and practices in the preseason and regular season. That was a 17% drop from the 2023 season, and was the lowest mark since the league began tracking concussions in 2015.

Concussions were down 17 percent from 2023 and were the lowest on record since the league started tracking data in 2015.
