00:00and we'll see you next time.

00:07Live right here on this Monday with the pro football doc.

00:10Doctor David Chow joining us to recap a Sunday slate around the

00:14National Football League and look forward to another double

00:17header on this Monday night to end out week 7. Doctor Chow as

00:20always. We appreciate the time. Thanks for being here on the

00:23early line.

00:25Always happy to be here. Not happy to have lots of injuries,

00:28doctor detail from yesterday and many of them significant,

00:31especially at the quarterback position doc. Let's start with

00:34what we saw in Cleveland closing minutes of the opening half to

00:37Sean Watson goes down with a non-contact injury. The Browns

00:40saying after the game, they fear it is a torn Achilles from what

00:44we could see on replay and video. It's certainly look to be that

00:48but we're not doctors. You definitely are. What did you see

00:52with the Sean Watson's injury?

00:55What do you expect for the remainder of the year for the Browns

00:58quarterback? Look, normally we go by from the war room on 95%

01:01confidence before we give an injury opinion. This was 99.9 and

01:04we had it up. The guys in the war room were great. We had it up

01:07within 30 seconds on Twitter. It's gotten like, I don't know

01:10three plus million views or whatever a close-up of the calf

01:13reverberation Achilles, very clear. You don't need it. You

01:16don't need it. You don't need it. You don't need it. You don't

01:19need it. You don't need it. You don't need it. You don't need it.

01:22Unfortunately, more clear than Aaron Rodgers last year. So

01:25unfortunate here, Deshaun Watson finally was playing better

01:28early in that game. And then now this and he's done for the

01:31season and I have no idea what the cat, you know, implications

01:34are and future are. I can't tell you he's done for the season

01:37period. End of story. It will be no late season. Come back, etc.

01:40Doctor, what do you expect for the rest of the season?

01:43I think we're going to see a lot of good things. I think we're

01:46going to see a lot of good things. I think we're going to see a

01:50What's the latest on your beliefs here on? Brandon. Ayuck

01:59What's the latest on your beliefs here on Brandon Ayuck in his

02:02Well, by video. We only had a side video. We didn't have one

02:07from the front because players blocked it, but it was a right

02:11knee issue significant knee ligament issue at least MCL

02:15At least MCL tear, sprain tear, and the possibility of ACL, we didn't see the distinct video to be

02:23able to make that 95% call.

02:25But the MCL for sure.

02:27So at a minimum he's a four-week IR.

02:29There are some loose reports about fear of ACL on top of that, including from the head coach.

02:35It's usually pretty straightforward.

02:37So at this point, anything short of season ending would be great news for IU.

02:42And here's the irony.

02:44In-game yesterday, you had IU out.

02:47You had Debo sick and out.

02:49You had Jawan Jennings not starting the game.

02:52You could argue the number one receiver was Ricky Pearsall, who got shot six weeks ago.

02:57That was crazy.

02:59Made his NFL debut yesterday for the 49ers, who have been plagued by injuries in the offensive

03:05side.

03:07Of course, we still have not seen Christian McCaffrey at any point this season.

03:10Dr. Chow, back to the quarterbacks.

03:12And although it was an easy win for the Commanders to cruise to a 5-2 start, rookie quarterback

03:18and phenom Jaden Daniels injured early in the game, did come back to the sidelines in

03:23the second half in street clothes.

03:25He told reporters who were at the game, I'm good, I'm fine.

03:29His mom tweeted out that he's fine, not to worry.

03:33Do you think Jaden Daniels is actually fine?

03:36Doc, can we expect to see him play in a matchup of one versus two as the Commanders host

03:41the Bears on Sunday afternoon?

03:44I do believe Jaden Daniels is fine in the big picture, but not fine for next week for

03:51one versus two.

03:53By video, that early long run, that was a rib cartilage issue.

03:58Left lower rib soft cartilage.

04:00That's why x-rays were negative.

04:02There's no fracture there because there's no bone there.

04:04It's rib cartilage.

04:06But a lot of oblique muscles attached, torso rotation, control, painful.

04:13I think he misses a short stint.

04:15No IR, no surgery, but I think it's pretty tough to play through that this next week.

04:21This in some ways is a little bit Derek Carr-ish, and he's missing two games now.

04:27And, you know, not exact comp, but somewhat similar.

04:31If you think back to Justin Herbert early last year against the Chiefs rib soft cartilage,

04:35he played through some with an injection, but he's a vet.

04:39I think he misses one or two weeks.

04:42Interesting to watch that play out, Doc.

04:44But we do have Monday Night Football, a doubleheader today over at sixsquared.com.

04:47Take a look at the field views tonight.

04:49Pretty healthy in Tampa Bay and Baltimore, but I have questions for you on Tampa Bay.

04:53Number one with Mike Evans and that hamstring injury, and Vida Vea, their superstar defensive tackle.

04:58What are we hearing the latest on those two guys?

05:00I mean, good news on both those in terms of video and the reports.

05:04It looks like the hamstring is fine for Mike Evans.

05:07More tightness in Vida Vea seems fine.

05:09So it should be a good matchup with some relatively healthy teams there.

05:14The other game, you know, the concern is some DBs for Arizona Cardinals and also ability to stop the run.

05:21And we know Jim Harbaugh wants to run the football.

05:24And, by the way, his heart is fine.

05:28Yes, that is very good news.

05:30Doc, from the wide receiver position in that game between the Chargers and the Cardinals,

05:35a couple of young wideouts, their status a little bit in question.

05:38Marvin Harrison Jr., specifically for Arizona, exited the Cardinals' previous game with a concussion.

05:44Can we expect to see MHJ suit up for Arizona tonight?

05:49Absolutely. He's already been cleared.

05:51He's had full practices.

05:53He is slated to go.

05:54Barring some sort of last-second surprise, he is absolutely cleared and ready to go.

05:59Ladd McConkie for the Chargers, on the other hand, still questionable with the hip.

06:03We don't have a lot of video on that, so we don't have a lot of clarity.

06:07The Chargers have gotten a lot healthier.

06:09Their left tackle, right tackle are back.

06:12Obviously, Justin Herbert back.

06:13Joey Bosa is still the main question mark.

06:16And you saw the field view there.

06:17Look at the D-line for the Cardinals.

06:19That's where the issue is right there.

06:23Yeah, as you can see, that's the offensive.

06:25Go ahead, DRS.

06:26I was going to squeeze one more in, Doc, for you.

06:28DK Metcalf on Sunday.

06:29A lot of fantasy people watching.

06:31Four catches, 99 yards.

06:33Is that knee going to be troublesome moving forward, or is he okay?

06:36I think he's okay.

06:38Look, this is what I always say.

06:39What do I always say?

06:40Judge the video of the injury.

06:43Judge the actual injury.

06:45Don't judge the reaction to the injury.

06:48The cart off is a reaction to the injury.

06:51Look at Cincinnati Bengals Geno Stone's safety.

06:54Carted off in an air cast.

06:56And we all think air cast means broken bone and done.

06:59Well, he was walking around the locker room.

07:01There's nothing wrong with being overprotective early.

07:04This is why we judge video rather than reaction to the video.

07:08We don't judge Sean Watson's peers.

07:11We judge the fact that his calf popped.

07:13Right.

07:14And that's why the great work at Sports Injury Central, SICscore.com.

07:18Dr. Chow, we appreciate the time.

07:20We appreciate the time and the analysis, as always.
