00:00
We're gonna focus back on the NFL now.
00:06
We've got a few pretty sizable injuries
00:09
that we have to monitor, but Dr. Chow,
00:13
Dr. David Chow is here to maybe quell some of your fears.
00:17
We'll start off with his thoughts
00:18
on Christian McCaffrey's leg injury at the moment.
00:22
How worried should we be about Christian McCaffrey
00:25
and his calf injury for the 49ers?
00:28
Yes, calf injuries linger.
00:30
This is why the 49ers shut CMC down
00:33
for all of the preseason.
00:35
We actually anticipate this to be a minor issue.
00:38
He had a calf strain last season, missed two games.
00:42
Minimal time here, a six score,
00:45
relatively high of 92 out of 100 for him at SICscore.com.
00:52
Niners favored taking on the Jets on Monday night,
00:55
so we'll see how that goes.
00:56
Christian McCaffrey's current rushing prop, 75 and a half,
01:00
the combined rushing and receiving prop at 115 and a half.
01:03
So keep in mind that he doesn't seem concerned,
01:07
but going up against the Jets with that concern
01:12
might shade you to the under.
01:13
So let's talk about Justin Herbert,
01:16
been dealing with some bumps and bruises during camp.
01:19
Here's Dr. David Chow once again,
01:21
a former orthopedic surgeon for the Chargers,
01:24
talking about Justin Herbert.
01:25
We said all along that Justin Herbert will play week one.
01:29
He's going to play week one.
01:31
He's not gonna miss any game time
01:33
as a result of the plantar fasciitis.
01:36
It can be injected, it can be managed.
01:38
The problem is that it can linger
01:41
and affect practice time during the week.
01:43
Yes, he's lost some practice time
01:46
to get with his young receivers,
01:47
but he was around all off season.
01:50
So really minimum worry here for Jim Harbaugh
01:54
and his quarterback, Justin Herbert,
01:55
as they launch a new era for the Chargers.
01:58
Full steam ahead, he won't miss any playing time.
02:02
It's a matter of getting used to the new system.
02:05
Chargers, a field goal favorite against the Raiders
02:08
at 4.05 Eastern on Sunday.
02:12
Kind of like the Chargers in that one.
02:14
I think Justin Herbert's passing prop,
02:17
just at 223 and a half, I think that's a function,
02:21
not really so much of the injury,
02:22
but of the style of play that's anticipated.
02:25
Jim Harbaugh utilizing that huge offensive line
02:28
led by new draft pick, Joe Alt, Rashawn Slater,
02:32
Zion Johnson, they've used three first round draft picks
02:34
to fix that offensive line,
02:36
and now they have a hell of a unit there
02:38
to block for Justin Herbert and get some guys loose.
02:41
So next injury is Anthony Richardson.
02:44
He's obviously the most serious,
02:46
dealing with surgery in the off season.
02:48
Here's Dr. Chown, Anthony Richards,
02:51
excuse me, Anthony Richardson's chances
02:53
of being healthy going into week one.
02:54
We really have very little worry
02:56
about his growing shoulder and the surgery.
02:59
It was an AC joint separation, surgery with good results,
03:04
very little worry about his shoulder.
03:06
We do have significant worry at Sports Injury Central
03:10
if he continues to run the ball as often as he did.
03:13
In four games, he took several big shots last year.
03:16
The risk is with how much he runs
03:18
and when he gets hit when he runs.
03:20
The shoulder, we're not worried about.
03:23
High six score of 91 for Colts quarterback,
03:26
Anthony Richardson.
03:29
All right, so good news for Colts fans.
03:31
They are two and a half point home divisional dogs,
03:34
typically a profitable position to be in.
03:37
His rushing prop at 43 and a half,
03:40
passing prop at 223 and a half, something to consider.
03:44
He's a huge athlete.
03:45
I think the people are very bullish on him.
03:47
I, like Dr. Chow, though, am concerned
03:50
if he continues to take shots on his shoulder.
03:52
Look for Shane Steichen to start to try to utilize
03:55
the brotherly shove that he utilized
03:56
for Jalen Hurts in Philly.
03:58
I think he'll utilize that with Anthony Richardson
04:00
as well as he racks up some rushing touchdowns
04:03
and some key first downs this season.
04:05
And finally, we go to the last one on Dr. Chow.
04:08
Jameer Gibbs, maybe not getting a full load of carries
04:13
this weekend in week one.
04:15
The Lions running back has had history
04:18
of hamstring issues, training camp,
04:20
another hamstring issue, but good news back at practice.
04:24
We don't anticipate that he'll miss week one.
04:27
He's going to play, head coach has indicated that,
04:31
but his usage may be down.
04:32
He's missed several weeks of training camp.
04:35
The Lions also have David Montgomery,
04:37
so expect him to be healthy,
04:39
but in terms of the share of the snaps,
04:41
it may favor Montgomery more than Gibbs,
04:44
at least in week one.
04:46
But the good news is no real health worry for Jamar Gibbs,
04:49
but there will be some ramp up
04:51
to full utilization for the Lions.
04:53
This is Dr. David Chow.
04:54
Go to SICscore.com for the latest.
04:58
There you go.
04:59
Go to SICscore.com for all the latest on all the injuries.
05:02
I appreciate all of that information.
05:04
Jameer Gibbs rushing crop currently 54 and a half
05:08
as the Lions are favored on Sunday night football
05:10
against the Rams.
