Reading between the lines, and doing little research, I'm betting what he had was a platelet rich plasma (PRP) injection. This is a technique used to stimulate healing for conditions (arthritis, tendonitis, other soft tissue injuries/conditions) that are not severe enough to require surgery. It apparently has a good track record for effectiveness, but requires the injected area to be rested for 6-12 weeks. If this is, in fact, what Stafford had in the weeks following the Super Bowl (late-Feb/early-Mar), then he'd be on track to start throwing again in June.
If I’m right, I’d say this was a wise proactive measure in advance of the title defense.
