Considering that the 49'ers tried to play Purdy while his elbow was ripped up in their last game, does show the mentality of the front office to "win at all cost", even to the detriment of a player's health and wellness. It would have been a PR nightmare if Purdy would have taken a major hit on that elbow and possibly ended his playing career for good.
It's been going on for years. Parsons is just one of the higher profile guys to mention it publicly of late. (I don't even know who the basketball player being discussed is)
Knowing the NFL, better chance than not that he’s spot on.
He can say what he wants because he's an all pro- a borderline player would probably be cut shortly after talking,
Look at the situation with Tua in Miami. Didn’t the NFL revise their concussion protocol after an issue with how Tua’s first concussion was handled? He ended up in the concussion protocol three times this past season. Should the Dolphins or the NFL have pulled the plug on Tua earlier in the season?

They wouldn't even let him out of protocol to play Tic Tac Toe at the Pro Bowl for goodness sake. Lol
But yes. I think it changed twice during the season.
This is news? We got shots in high school circa 1966-67. Even in small college football I had teammates who used drugs like darvon....etc. It's been a long time ago and I haven't thought about it much. But I seem to recall everyone tightened things up after this.

I can tell you that a few years ago, I read a knee MRI from one of the outpatient imaging centers we covered done on an NFL player that was let go by the Rams. He was let go “with a clean bill of health“ and therefore no injury settlement. He continued to complain of knee pain that he had with the Rams and supposedly had received treatment by the team before his release. The MRI show fairly significant pathology, but nothing as serious as a complete ACL tear. He had an MRI with the Rams and told there was not anything wrong with the knee. So either the person who read his knee MRI done by the Rams organization was incompetent/not qualified to do so or they lied to him, although I suspect the latter because they wanted to save money by not giving an injury settlement.
We asked to get the previous exam for comparison because maybe something happened to the knee after the player’s release, but of course we never received the previous study. That’s why why the NFL teams have their “own people“ to evaluate players. It is a business, not healthcare.

How about this one?

My first cousin is an orthopedic surgeon. He did a sports fellowship with the Raiders mid 1990s. They pretty much all got IV Toradol before the games.
I forget which episode of the new heights podcast it was (the Kelce brothers podcast) but they were joking about “Vitamin T” and I think it was Jason who said he doesn’t play without it.
It's a rough sport. I had a student who played QB and he would say he'd be so sore on Sundays that he could hardly move.
