  1. What kind of treatment at the team facility would he be receiving to cause an issue with his lung?

  2. I wonder if he could have been using one of those oxygen pressure chambers and something happened? Just trying to think of what sort of “treatment” leads to a hospitalization for lung injury

  3. Normally I’d be saying “let’s not jump to conclusions,” but I think it’s totally reasonable to lay down a preemptive “fuck Art Rooney and his cheap ass facilities and staff.”

  4. So TJ’s probably got a broken rib they were shooting up painkillers for and did him dirty like Tyrod Taylor?

  5. i’ve heard multiple people say pneumothorax now but where is that confirmed?

    that is extremely serious if its what happened

  6. I feel lucky that I love herbig so much that I would be okay with any of the 3 (watt, highsmith, herbig) taking snaps at any given play.

    BUT GOD DAMMIT NOT WATT

    DONT TAKE WATT FROM ME

  7. Any ideas (seriously, no jokes) of what kind of treatment he could’ve been getting?

  8. For clarification, how does a lung become punctured by dry needling? I mean they’re the size of acupuncture needles, no? What did the med person do…hit the needle head with a hammer? I’m kinda joking but how deep do you have to go before you hit a lung?

    And yes, I have many questions. I have this weird need to understand.

  9. That somehow reminds me of the one time that Tyrod Taylor got his lung punctured by the Chargers team doctor. He ended up suing the team doctor for $5mil

  10. Sitting at work when an Apple News story pops up “Sports star hospitalized “ and I mean I typically hate the whole teaser approach they take but I’m like, hey let’s see which sport and which star. Are you fucking kidding me

  11. THIS is why if you want to release trigger points in a muscle with needles you ONLY go to a fully LICENSED acupuncturist and definitely NOT a PT, Physiotherapist, DO, or god forbid a personal trainer. They have no clue and no real training thus no skills to do it properly and safely!
