Welcome to another episode of the Injury Report! Today, we’re focusing on core muscle injuries in the NFL, also known as “sports hernias”, most recently plaguing lead wide receiver for the Jaguars Christian Kirk. But this injury is quite common in the NFL affecting players from DeSean Jackson, Kareem Hunt, OBJ, Mike Evans, JJ Watt, Adrian Peterson to name a few.
So, it’s about time that we cover this injury. As always, our plan today is to start with an overview of the relevant anatomy, discuss the mechanism of injury followed by treatment options for these players, and then wrap up with what you all want to know – when do players typically return to play after this injury and how do they do once they return?
