New Panthers star makes strong statement about NFL's use of turf

[ASFN Admin]

Another Carolina Panther has made his feelings about turf rather clear.

On Friday, linebacker Devin Lloyd was one of many NFLers to get in on the NFLPA's #WorthTheCost campaign. Players posted their own statements to Twitter/X, advocating for a league-wide change from turf to grass fields.

Here's what Lloyd had to say . . .

Natural grass isn't out of reach. Prioritizing players shouldn't be either! We're #WorthTheCost

Lloyd isn't the only Panther to plant a flag for this cause. He joined running back Jonathon Brooks, who re-posted a message from San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle on Instagram last month . . .

This is a rather pertinent topic for the Panthers, as they've played their home games at Bank of America Stadium on a turf surface. And it's especially important to Brooks, who is attempting to come back from a second ACL tear in his right knee.

2026 will mark Lloyd's first season in Carolina. The Pro Bowl defender signed a three-year, $42 million deal back in the spring.
