Why don't punters wear knee and ankle braces on their plant foot?

Punters should all be required to wear the one-bar facemask.

Id argue the handlebar mustache is more protection!

I feel awful for our punter, this was the third time in a year he's been wrecked and two of them were season ending type injuries.   Tasker mentioned today that there are certain snaps where the rushers will go all out and not care if they get a penalty depending on field position, circumstances like score etc.  I'm surprised these punters don't take better precautions and wear knee braces and at least tape the crap out of their non-kicking ankle.   Would this really affect their kicking ability?  It sure would give them better job security.....

A kneee brace isn’t going to prevent entry what happened.

I want to know why the broadcast had to show it 5 times  once was enough to entice a trip to the bathroom
