Why It's Important?
Joint practices are crucial for NFL teams as they offer a chance to evaluate player performance and team dynamics in a competitive setting. They can reveal strengths and weaknesses that might not be apparent in intra-team scrimmages. However, the risk of injuries during these sessions is a significant concern, potentially impacting team rosters and strategies for the upcoming season. Teams must balance the benefits of these practices with the need to maintain player health and readiness.
