I think that was a PICC line he had for antibiotics. It is inserted midway up the arm. Still, I wouldn't be comfortable playing football with it

Maybe he was a popstar, not a doctor.

With the 1 downvote on all the posts, I didn't know Tyrod posts on here.

A pneumothorax is a definite possible complication of a nerve block in the chest wall. Hopefully this was explained as he signed the preprocdure consent. For most people it probably means placement of a small chest tube and one nights stay in a hospital.

Top it off with some medically induced adrenaline and you’re good to go
I enjoy how some of you are seeing for the first time how much shite these dudes do to get ready for an NFL game
isn’t it amazing that they have kicked dudes out the league for rolling a joint on a Tuesday?

Our medical and legal team have been in touch with Tyrod and his agent since Sunday collecting facts. An investigation has been initiated.
This guy is the Assistant Executive Director of External Affairs at the NFLPA (from his twitter bio).

Team would be smart to pay out any performance bonuses he may or may not miss out on due to this injury

After thinking about this for a second, that's probably beneficial to all parties. Most of these players only have a few short years to make more money than they could in the rest of their adult life. They are adults that are choosing to subject their bodies to the abuse. Plus they have the option for a second opinion away from the team doc. If I'm in that position, I'm doing whatever is legally available to get on the field.

I still don't think you can waive the right to sue an individual doctor for medical malpractice, even under a collective bargaining system.
But I wonder if injuries suffered at the hands of a team doctor may be included in workers' comp awards under the CBA? If so might make sense they can't sue for it.

A bad outcome even one that is a known and disclosed for consent risk does not mean that bad outcome is not a result of malpractice.
I am curious how many cases of med-mal the downvoters have actually tried. I am willing to bet my number is significantly higher than their cumulative number.
Just because a certain outcome is a written consent risk does not mean that none of those particular outcomes involved negligence or a breach of duty.
As a wildly simplistic example, almost all surgeries will include bleeding and post-op infection as major risks. That does not mean a surgeon that cuts a well-defined artery in the surgical field didn't breach the standard or care. It also doesn't mean that a surgeon that drop an instrument and picks it up and uses it didn't commit malpractice when the patient ends up with a staph infection.
It is really simple a patient that suffers from a known risk does not mean there was not malpractice nor does it mean there is. What matters is the exact manner of care the individual got. Med-mal is fairly rare, even more rare from the actual hands of a doctor because most are very good at what they do.

I don't speak legalese, but it isn't far fetched to get a pneumothorax from a nerve block in the chest wall even with a good physician performing it. It is something I would weigh the risks of before I would even agree to letting someone do that to me.
