Looking for data on patterns of injuries in the NFL

Is anyone aware of studies/data that correlate the number and type of injuries-by-team to the surfaces they practice and play on?
Can't help with that...

... is what it feels like, and I wonder about our surfaces. That's why I was curious if anyone had seriously attempted to compile any stats. Probably if anyone did, it would be the carpet-sellers -- and if their particular carpet wasn't the safest, that work would never see the light of day. The league makes enough money; they should do the study ... and either give the info to the teams or use it to blackmail the carpet-sellers with the least safe turf!

the best running back the Giants had was Tiki.
It's either his training, his footwear or they updated the turf.
Pure Polish logic.
