During the SNF Matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles, WR Jaylen Waddle had to leave the game with what looked like an apparent back issue in the second quarter of the game.

He was ruled questionable to return by team officials. However, at the beginning of the third quater he was back on the field, sprinting at full speed and catching balls.

So what outerworld treatment do pro athletes receives that make them recover from such injuries?

There are also hits that cause what the players call “stingers”. You feel like you hurt/broke something, but after getting looked at it was just a hard hit that might have even struck a nerve real quick and that was it. You’re fine and can go back into the game.

Another thing that happens fairly often is players will get dehydrated to the point they start cramping up really bad. They’ll usually get taken back and given an IV to rehydrate them and go back in.
