The injury took place during last week's 27-20 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Quetin Lake accompanied the photo of his burnt forearm with a caption that read "turf gotta go", urging the league to take safety measures by banning artificial turf.

"Awful: Rams standout safety Quentin Lake posted a nasty photo of what his arm looks like after suffering from a bad case of turf burn this week. 'Turf gotta go.' The NFL needs to ban turf as soon as possible," Kleiman wrote.

Quentin Lake is not the first player to voice their discomfort about playing on artificial turf. The urgency of the situation started to rise after Giants star Malik Nabers suffered a torn ACL at MetLife Stadium during the victory over the Chargers.

He's expected to miss out the rest of the season, leaving a massive void in his team's offensive firepower. After Nabers' injury, fans started demanding that the NFL take immediate action and ban artificial turf in stadiums. What remains to be seen is whether the league brings about any changes amid all the dissatisfaction and unrest surrounding this situation.
