If Drake Maye was "feeling great," why did he get a painkilling injection?

Before the Super Bowl, New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye received a painkilling injection for his injured throwing shoulder, despite previous claims that he was fully fit. Maye's participation in practices and removal from the final injury report suggested he was ready to play without issues. However, the revelation of the injection highlights potential discrepancies between official injury reports and actual player conditions. This situation raises concerns due to the NFL's partnerships with sportsbooks and the potential for inside information to affect betting. As the league profits from gambling affiliations, the risk of a scandal over injury disclosures looms, threatening the integrity of the game.
