The NFL has tried to put player safety at the forefront of it's PR with all this concussion prevention talk; otherwise the talent pipeline would eventually start drying up as more and more parents would stop letting their kids play football. But I can assure you, alongside the head injury issues, Thursday games are only going to increase injury in the long term as they stand now.
The right move is to push for an 18 week/16 game season, each team gets two bye weeks and only plays on a Thursday game when coordinated with one of their byes to allow maximum recovery. The NFL can then sound the trumpets of encouraging player safety as well as broadcast more games.
