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
The docs determines is it structural injury, like an ACL tear, or just sore/bruised.
If structural nothing they can do as if the player attempts to play, they will break their body even further, and it will break further
If it is just sore, then pain medication. Wait for it to kick in, and then the player can play.
Then sometimes it is just momentary injury like wind knocked out of you or like a quick pain like you stubbed your toe so no pain meds needed.
