Doctors have advised Tyrod Taylor not to play "indefinitely” due to his punctured lung. The Chargers were hoping Taylor would be able to start Sunday, but doctors are against it. https://t.co/FHm7aJXC8o

Who the **** argued that it wasn't dangerous?

wasnt saying people in here. Sorry, my bad. The comments in social media.

It’s not a routine, more of a common procedure. Same basic procedure to deal with a collapsed lung. It will endanger your life but you can fix what could go wrong rather easily and quickly in a hospital environment.

But, of course what made it dangerous was being on the sidelines without the ability to deal with stuff that could go wrong. You can function with one lung for awhile.

This procedure is done in clinics as well, just you typically use ultrasound guidance.
What happened is a defined risk of the procedure, you are injecting to numb a nerve that is just superficial to the lungs.

It would depend on how Tyrod consented. Maybe Tyrod was pushing to have the procedure done so he could play. We have no idea.
