The San Francisco 49ers are the most injured team in the NFL over the last decade and Peter Cowan, a scientist, believes it’s due to what’s located near Levi Stadium and the 49ers facility.
In a study put together by Cowan, the 49ers were found to statistically be the most injured team in the NFL since 2014, by far. Cowan is the founder of “Sunlight is Life (software tools for light and sun exposure optimization) and Living Energy Wellness, where I practice as a board-certified quantum biology practitioner,” according to his website.
According to Cowan’s data, since moving to Levi’s Stadium in 2014, the 49ers are: top-5 in Adjusted Games Lost for 10 of 11 seasons; have had 7-8 full Achilles/patellar ruptures compared to the league average of two-to-three per year TOTAL; 40+ major hamstring/calf tears; and a pattern of high-ankle syndesmosis injuries every single year.”
Cowan says that “no other franchise comes close” to the 49ers’ recent injury history, and the reason for that may have to do with the fact that their practice field is located next to a electrical substation; an electrical substation that emits “low-frequency electromagnetic fields,” which can “degrade collagen, weaken tendons, and cause soft-tissue damage at levels regulators call ‘safe.’”

The 49ers have been a very successful organization since Kyle Shanahan took over as its head coach and before that under Jim Harbaugh from 2011 to 2014 but have failed to win a Super Bowl since 1995. One can imagine what the 49ers’ trophy cabinet might look like if they weren’t experiencing injuries at such a higher clip than the rest of the league.
The 49ers will begin their playoff push with a Wild Card Round matchup on the road against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, January 11 at 4:30 p.m. EST.
