And when you do, you're drawing on the etymology of expedite itself. The word comes from the Latin verb expedire (to set free or to make useful), a word that in turn traces back to the root ped-or pes, meaning foot. Expedite has been used in English since at least the 15th century.
In a report released Friday called Dangers of the Game of Football, the NFLPA says injuries increased from 3.2 to 3.7 per week per team and the share of players injured increased to 63 percent compared to a 2002-09 average of 59 percent.
In 2013, when eight players died directly from on-field injuries, that rate spiked to 0.73 per 100,000, before it dipped last year slightly to 0.45 per 100,000. Notably, only 37 percent of public high schools had access to a full-time athletic trainer, according to a recent study in the Journal of Athletic Training.
