00:00For anybody that doesn't know the story yet, Puka Nakua is hurt, and we're not sure how

00:09hurt and the Rams aren't exactly about to give us a whole bunch of information, but

00:12I'll just say this, the guy who we trust around here, Dr. David Chow, I saw him on the show,

00:17was it Friday, Alex?

00:18I think you brought him on on Friday.

00:20He's the pro football doc.

00:22His website, Sports Injury Central.

00:24He studies the film.

00:25So if you go back and you show us this play one more time, watch Nakua and White catch

00:29the ball, then go down, hit his right knee, and I'm presuming, I'm not the pro football

00:35doc, that it's the right knee.

00:37Yeah.

00:38It's difficult to tell on that, according to the pro football doc, but if it is what

00:42is reported, which is what he's seeing is a PCL sprain, according to him as of this

00:47morning, if it is a confirmed PCL sprain, that is an injury that will linger into the

00:51season.

00:54That is a thing that you have to deal with.
