Why would they drug test a guy when he gets injured?
Is that routine?

I'm not sure about sports in college, but at a most work places, if you get injured, it's routine to drug test. Therefore, if you're positive drug tested, the company can say your injury was a result of your being under the influence and possibly not a result of workplace negligence, etc.
I suppose it is possible that a University, any University, could make the argument that your injury on the football field was a result of your being under the influence causing you to create your own bodily injury, etc.
Who knows what lawyers could do?

Yes, a drug test is routine if someone goes to emergency room for most internal injuries. Neck/back is obviously internal. Probably went in for X-rays//MRI and had they seen a potential life threatening issue that needed surgery they would have wanted the blood results to prep for surgery. Pretty routine.
They wouldn't want to discover a life threatening injury and then have to wait for blood test results before surgery.
