If Denver Broncos quarterback Russell Wilson were to choose between grass or turf, he will choose the former in a heartbeat. Wilson shared his thoughts on the matter in light of the Aaron Rodgers injury situation. The Broncos signal caller feels practicing and playing on grass is easier on the body, per NFL Network's James Palmer.

“Big discussion obviously. You know, I don't know the signs of it all necessarily. I mean, obviously, I played in Seattle on turf for years. It didn't really seem to be a problem as much there but definitely practicing on grass and playing on grass is definitely easier on your body, for sure,” Wilson said on Wednesday.

“You know, I just think about practicing outside or versus inside and guys like practicing outside. I love practicing on the grass, too. I think it's better for your knees, your ankles, and all that stuff…It's interesting to see some of the injuries that happen on turf,” Wilson added.
