Stafford’s Elbow Injection

[AvengerRam]

Reading between the lines, and doing little research, I'm betting what he had was a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection. This is a technique used to stimulate healing for conditions (arthritis, tendonitis, other soft tissue injuries/conditions) that are not severe enough to require surgery. It apparently has a good track record for effectiveness, but requires the injected area to be rested for 6-12 weeks. If this is, in fact, what Stafford had in the weeks following the Super Bowl (late-Feb/early-Mar), then he'd be on track to start throwing again in June.

If I’m right, I’d say this was a wise proactive measure in advance of the title defense.

This injury may be the cause of some of those occasional underthrown deep balls he had.

Essentially, he's getting old and needed a bit of a lube job on that overused joint. Mileage recommendation varies.

Ain't even worried. We knew he had a few ailments.

And so it begins.....the 34 QB body starting to show some wear and tear.

He should get some of the shit Tom Terrific injects instead. PRP is nothing compared to HGH.

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss this as nothing as some are doing. I would not panic, either. I do suspect Stafford will be fine. But it is something to keep an eye on.

Well…yeah… that’s pretty much the spectrum.

My default setting is “not worried.” If new information comes out, I’ll reassess.

Exactly what my first thought was. Fucking cheater.
