    Thanks.  Now I know that he's married.

    Going back a few years, my Dr.'s secretary told me when I called, If this is a workman's comp situation you will have to go to a different Dr.

    I've only ever worked a real job maybe four or five months out of my entire life but I did get hurt at work and the company sent me to their own doctor. Haha

    Watson is the Porche 911 Turbo that Myles wrecked. 

    He is totaled too, except we are trying to restore him. Like badly wrecked cars, once patched up they are never the same.

    Watson is a wreck physically and emotionally.

    He looked perfectly fine hiding behind the Rock star shades and his GF..

    Why wasn’t he on the sidelines? 

  • I’m not an expert, but I think  NFL teams buy some sort of contract insurance for injuries

    Is Watson or any PUP player a recipient of worker's comp? Or do the Browns eat the salary?

    Steve,  there might be other things that  might  enter into the considerations  in each case like signing bonuses,  workout bonuses in fact other bonuses and contract languages  especially in these  "big buck"  deals.

    Still an interesting question for a lawyer or law school type to dig into.

  • ~           Just a little reading on workmans comp for NFL players,  yes they can be covered. "but" .....  read on ......

    Following the traumatic injury of Buffalo Bills Safety Damar Hamlin (#3) on Monday Night Football, questions regarding pro athletes’ eligibility for workers’ compensation became a topic of discussion.  

    ●  To clarify, NFL players and most professional athletes are eligible for workers’ compensation. However, since workers’ compensation is a state-administered system, varying rules and protocols must be applied, including where the player plays, is injured, or permanently resides. 

    Workers’ compensation claims are not uncommon in the NFL, as the likes of Michael Irvin (Dallas Cowboys) and Clyde Simmons (Philadelphia Eagles) are two prominent names on the receiving end of such benefits. According to the NFL Physicians Society, common orthopedic injuries in the NFL consist of those to the knee (i.e., MCL, ACL), foot, ankle, shoulder, back and neck. Other frequent injuries include concussions (187 in 2021), injuries to the chest, broken ribs, splenic lacerations, and kidney-related injuries. As football is a highly intensive contact sport, injuries are expected. Nonetheless, the long-term toll of these injuries were and continue to be greatly downplayed.  

    A survey of retired NFL players found that nearly nine in ten suffer from chronic aches and pains on a daily basis. A 2021 joint study by UNC-Chapel Hill, Duke, and Ohio University featured in the Journal for Sports Rehabilitation analyzing 3,647 former NFL players found that 90 percent suffered at least one musculoskeletal injury in their career. Just under 75 percent of respondents say they are still affected by injuries from their NFL tenure. In a league of 32 teams, organizations such as the Chicago Bears have reported 458 worker’s compensation claims since 2000, with total settlement payouts at approximately 12.8 million, as of 2018 data.  

    While most players will be able to have their injuries treated by their respective team’s medical staff, several injuries can go undetected or unrecognized even after a player hangs up their cleats. NFL personnel continue to receive criticism regarding the organization's handling of concussions, a condition well-linked to developing chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). The condition can cause dementia and worsen one’s overall cognitive state with age. A high number of player deaths were attributed to the disease, including former Patriots Linebacker Junior Seau at age 43 and former Broncos Wideout Demaryius Thomas at age 33. Findings at Boston University’s CTE Center evaluating the brains of 202 football players at varying levels of the game found that 87 percent displayed CTE-related markers.  

    Despite well-documented evidence of high-risk injury involved with being a professional athlete, states can, at times, be..... continued read on ●-->

    Might?

    No kidding.

    ?

    After all the guessing I'm going to assume that since his contract is guaranteed one way or the other he loses no money and wc doesn't kick in.
