This is like when the Reds' doctors told CES that he didn't need surgery, when he clearly needed surgery so he went to talk to his own doctors and they said he did. Pretty sure that was the same year the Reds doctors told India his foot was fine and then his doctors said it wasn't and he needed surgery.
The team's doctors don't always have your longterm health in mind. The team only has you for a few years and how your body functions after that isn't their problem. That's why you see so many half-fixes to get a guy through the season rather than to actually fix the problem because it's less about how your life will be in 10 years.
Even though teams carry workers comp..if you think the majority of these top notch surgeons fall into the workers comp network you are mistaken..I would imagine nfl teams use other insurance carriers for player injuries
