What happens when an NFL player is injured? Are his injuries covered under work comp? Who pays the medical bills? Does the player still get paid when he is rehabbing and not on the active roster?
We addressed these questions and many more with former NFL vet Chris Gronkowski. After graduating from the University of Arizona, Chris played in the League (Cowboys, Colts, Broncos and Chargers) for four seasons before retiring in 2013. Chris is the middle brother of the famed Gronkowski brothers, all of whom played professional sports. Currently, Chris has a thriving business (https://www.iceshaker.com) and can be found all over social media (Gronk’d UP podcast - https://apple.co/2KhWstS), including his very popular Q&A on Tik Tok (https://bit.ly/3nDqt5T) that centers on life inside the NFL.
As is almost expected, most NFL players suffer some type of injuries during their career. Many injuries are temporary, but often they can be career threatening. Twice Chris was injured while playing that led to him being treated and unable to play. Little is known by the general public about how the players are treated and what happens when they have a work comp claim. Thank you, Chris, for sharing your experiences and time with us!
