Rupert,
Pain-killing shots are a way of life in the NFL. Every team, every game. I remember Bettis had to miss a playoff game a cople years ago when a shot in his leg hit the wrong nerve and his entire leg went numb. If they did use nerve-blocking pain killers in the NFL, a lot of games could not be played.
