LaPorta suffered a knee injury during his rookie season at Ford Field when his foot appeared to get caught in the stadium's artificial turf; he did not miss time despite the injury but was limited during Detroit's playoff run. The incident prompted him to join the NFLPA's call for natural grass fields across all NFL stadiums, posting on Instagram: 'WHY CAN'T WE HAVE THIS TOO' in response to the World Cup's use of natural grass at stadiums that typically host NFL games on artificial surfaces.
