There's no need to blame anything on the NFL.
The players have a union and an agent to make sure they understand their contract coverage.'
The player probably knew about it and while no one expects to get injured while training on their own, athletes can purchase loss of value insurance to protect against future earnings loss in the event of an injury.
I'll bet that all of the professional athletes know about it and if they're smart they buy the coverage.
The NFL teams also insure the contracts of some of their top players so that in the event that they get injured, the insurance pays a percentage of the contract value so that the entire contract isn't a total liability.
I think that the policy typically pays 50% or so of the value of a star players contract, and then the team pays the rest.
Imagine a top player like Mahomes who is making so many millions, of course he's self-insured in case he gets seriously injured and can't play, whether it happens on or off the field.
Look at the injury that happened to Dak Prescott.

estimated earnings between 2014-2020
7 seasons to play football is 34+ million I think the NFL did him pretty well.
He just turned 28 and will make millions more in the NFL.
