Most schools require the O-line to wear braces. I thought our guys typically wear them?

Not proven to prevent injury by science.

Pretty much all OL are required to wear them on most teams. They have to be the most rigid and are vulnerable to knee injuries. DL need more speed and flexibility. I’m assuming you posted this in respect to Chaisson’s injury. A guy like that relies on speed and explosivity. Braces can reduce that.

No evidence that it would make a difference.

Color me shocked that the maker of the brace promotes its efficacy.
