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?
In: 116
Pain management. An injection of an anti-inflammatory steroids or an NSAIDs and an opiate/opioid pill. They are not getting injections of opiates or opioids. Its usually oxycodone or hydrocodone with acetaminophen. Heat compress, massages, a brace. Maybe ice. Jalen Hurts had a knee brace for the second half. He didnt really talk about it so who knows what other type of treatment he got.
Keep in mind, sometimes nothing works. Waddle was ineffective after the injury. He had a catch or two after but didnt do enough to help get that offense going. Collinsworth even pointed it out that he wasnt moving at his normal pace.
