Burners.

In brief The authors surveyed 201 NCAA brief Division III football players about their experiences with transient brachial plexopathy. Of the 201 players, 65% had suffered this injury during their college careers, 52% during the 1991; football season and 57% recurrently. Of the injured players, 70% said they had had burners that they did not report to anyone. To reduce the incidence and frequency of this common, often unreported injury, the authors suggest physicians watch more closely for signs and symptoms on the field, ask patients about the injury during preparticipation exams, and prescribe conditioning exercises and equipment modifications.
