00:00You know him as pro football doc on X and we also know him professionally as Dr. David
00:09Chow, longtime NFL doctor, and he runs Sports Injury Central out in So Cali Cal, and it's
00:17always great to have you back on C2C doc, and we start with the game in Brazil tonight.
00:22Now what is this international travel, different surroundings, threats, lots of cops, you got
00:31a lot of guys with hamstring problems, does all this add up to problems for teams tonight?
00:39Well it's kind of ironic right, I guess you're not supposed to wear green and the two teams
00:43with the most green in the uniforms are playing in Brazil, I don't know how that works out,
00:47but it's all good.
00:49The interesting thing to watch is they're playing on a soccer field, and a soccer field
00:55in the grass is usually made for 160 pound players, right?
00:59It's not made for football, let's see how the field holds up, but we already know there
01:03are lots of injuries in the Green Bay Packers backfield, running back injuries, running
01:09back two and three, so Josh Jacobs may get all the load this week, or tonight, he may
01:14get it all.
01:16Well, I mean that's what they got him for, right?
01:19Yeah, I think he's looking forward to it, so yeah, it should be an interesting game
01:24there.
01:25Alright, so Christian McCaffrey, everyone's top pick, even though he sat out the entire
01:31preseason with his calf, you guys have him at a 92-6 score at Sports Injury Central,
01:38you're not worried about his lingering calf problems?
01:42Not really, he played through one last year, didn't miss much time, he sat, we sense right
01:48now the NFL, just like last night, they said point of emphasis, illegal formation, you
01:55gotta line up on the line of scrimmage with the offensive linemen, and they called that
01:59a bunch.
02:00But if you look at it, Justin Herbert got added late to the injury report, Joe Burrow
02:04got added, CMC got added, they want everyone on the injury report just to be listed, Joe
02:10Burrow, full practice with his wrist, got added to the injury report.
02:13I think that's the same thing with CMC, they want to be very proactive with all their partnerships
02:18now with FanDuel and DraftKings and BetMGM and all these different places, that they're
02:22really paying attention to the injury report, and if you're a star player, and you have
02:26anything, they just want to see it on there, and it creates a lot of angst, at least that's
02:30what we see so far.
02:32The big exception, of course, is Tee Higgins, who went LP to DNP, and he's likely outlisted
02:37as doubtful.
02:38Okay, so he tweaked his hammy yesterday and was not out there today, and you guys have
02:44him knocked down to a 71, so you don't think he's going to be worth a damn?
02:50I think he's, I think Jamar Chase is closer to a 71 because of limited usage, because
02:56he just really started practice.
02:59They can't play him for 70 plays and risk a preseason muscle, early season muscle acclimation
03:05injury.
03:06At this point, Tee Higgins is very unlikely to play this week, and maybe even next week.
03:12It seemed like he has a new hamstring strain that happened yesterday, which is why he was
03:17limited practice.
03:18He was practicing fine until it happened, and then out of practice today, so this may
03:22be beyond a one-week injury for his partner, Tee Higgins.
03:28But Chase is actually going to play, but not full snaps.
03:31Well, I mean, that's unbelievable to me.
03:34So they're top two guys.
03:36One's barely going to play.
03:37The other one can't play.
03:38That changes that game significantly, if you ask me.
03:42What about Russell Wilson of the Steelers with his calf problem?
03:47Of course, Tomlin is downplayed like it doesn't even matter.
03:51We'll go with fields, but it does matter when you're old and you're starting to look washed
03:57and you're going down the other side of the mountain and you're already having calf problems
04:03throughout the preseason, and now it's tweaked again.
04:06I wouldn't play him.
04:08What's the point?
04:09Well, Russell Wilson says he's going to do everything possible to play, so I'm joking
04:14that maybe he's doing high knees on the airplane down to Atlanta this weekend.
04:18The bottom line is he's not going to be 100%.
04:20It's a coaching decision.
04:22If Mike Tomlin really wants to play Russell Wilson, remember, he's the one and only offensive
04:26captain for the Steelers, Russell Wilson is available to play.
04:30If he wants to go with a healthier guy, it's Justin Field, so it's going to be up to Coach
04:35Mike Tomlin and how he feels about it.
04:38Jalen Ramsey got paid today, but that doesn't help his sore hamstring.
04:43Do you think the Jags should go after him?
04:46Well, you know, look, Miami's got a lot of health issues, the latest one being Jalen
04:51Ramsey.
04:52Clearly, this wasn't a contract hamstring, right?
04:55He got paid, and he still has got the hamstring issue, but Miami has one of the lower
05:01six-scores from our preseason injury preview.
05:03They've got a lot of edge rusher and linebacker problems that linger from last year, now problems
05:09at corner, and they have a couple of offensive line issues as well, and Jacksonville is relatively
05:15healthy, the team that they're playing.
05:18So the Bills defense has some issues going into this game in Orchard Park against Arizona.
05:26No question.
05:27There's Delano.
05:28There's sideline-to-sideline linebacker back out after this fracture last year, new injury
05:33now.
05:34Remember, the Bills moved on from their two veteran safeties, and DeMar Hamlin, good on
05:39him.
05:40He's starting, but he's starting week one maybe because of injury to the guy ahead of
05:44him.
05:45So Buffalo has some defensive issues as they host the Arizona Cardinals, which are a lot
05:50healthier this season on the offensive line, and this is year two coming off the ACL for
05:55Kyler Murray.
05:56So expecting a much bigger year for him this year.
06:00What about the Cowboys?
06:01Corners have some injuries.
06:03Can the Browns go after them?
06:05Well, if the Browns tackles hold up, right tackle and left tackle, they can go after
06:11them with Amari Cooper, Jerry Judy.
06:13Duran Blands out with a foot injury.
06:15Trayvon Diggs, it's his first game back after an ACL last year, and he's nowhere near 100%.
06:22That is definitely an area of vulnerability for the Cowboys.
06:26How about this?
06:27Josh Wiley going to wear the Guardian cap for the Titans.
06:29What do you think of that procedure, that helmet thing that they wear?
06:34Well, you know, they experimented with it in the preseason.
06:38More power to him that he wants to wear it.
06:40The other guy who's going to wear it is another backup tight end, Kyle Granderson for the
06:44Colts.
06:45Those two are the only two that have declared wearing it.
06:50Good on them if they want to wear it.
06:52All right.
06:53Kyle Van Noy, that orbital bone he fractured, how long's he going to have to deal with that?
06:59Depends on how it affects his vision.
07:01Very unusual injury when you have a helmet, right?
07:03I mean, because that's usually protected.
07:06Very unusual.
07:07Yeah, you can wear a visor and get protected, but it all depends on his vision.
07:10If he's got vision issues, it'll be a little bit.
