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?

Often, leaving the game and getting treatment is primarily about assessing type of injury and whether the player needs imaging or not, or whether it’s more about being able to play through any pain. They might get it wrapped or taped up, there are so cooling sprays, maybe a cortisone shot. Sometimes it’s a stinger or cramp that goes away after a few minutes.
