00:00The injury report from a Sunday slate in the National Football

00:09League week number nine and that Sunday slate now in the book.

00:12So we give you the injury insight and analysis with the pro

00:16football doc.

00:17Dr.

00:17David Chow live right here on this Monday on the early line.

00:22Dr.

00:22Chow glad to have you here.

00:23Never easy talking about injuries, but we have to project

00:26moving forward.

00:27So we're glad to have you here on the early line to look back

00:30on the Sunday slate.

00:32Always happy to be here.

00:34Unfortunately in the collision sport of football.

00:37There's always stuff.

00:38It's never just everything is good.

00:41Yeah.

00:42Yep.

00:42Of course topics of conversation for sure knee as we look at

00:46what happened yesterday for the Dallas Cowboys doc the injuries

00:51to the insult of dropping a third consecutive game and getting

00:54beat by the Falcons on the road in Atlanta.

00:57We start with the quarterback.

00:58Of course, that is Dak Prescott exited the game early with a

01:01hamstring injury the Cowboys saying he is set to undergo an

01:05MRI early this week.

01:08Dr.

01:08Chow from what you in the war room was able to see yesterday

01:12at Sports Injury Central.

01:13What do you think the prognosis is for Dak Prescott returning

01:16to the gridiron?

01:18The hamstring is a big deal for him the hand not so much the

01:23cut on the hand and the swelling look the grips on the Palmer

01:26side.

01:26Not the backside.

01:28That's not an issue.

01:29The hamstring is a big deal for a couple of reasons.

01:32Number one, it's rare to injure your hamstring throwing the

01:36ball.

01:36It's more running.

01:37But when you do injure your hamstring throwing the ball,

01:40especially when it's your back foot.

01:42It is a key part of the throwing motion in terms of driving

01:46the ball downfield and accuracy.

01:49So it's not just about moving in the pocket or scrambling.

01:52It's about downfield accuracy.

01:54This is a huge deal for the Cowboys.

01:57Look, I think there's a reasonable chance that he misses

01:59the game.

01:59And if he plays he's not going to be a hundred percent.

02:03The only way he plays it near 100% is oh, he felt something

02:07in the hamstring, but it was like spasm and there's actually

02:10no damage on the MRI in that case, then he would be fine.

02:13But right now this is the biggest worry of the week right

02:17now in terms of certainly that big Eagles Cowboys game way

02:20bigger worry than CD.

02:21Lamb, by the way, glad you brought that up.

02:24Perfect.

02:24Segway dock is the Eagles do play the Cowboys this week

02:27and we're talking about a pair of wide receivers.

02:29One in CD.

02:29Lamb left that football game late checked out with a shoulder

02:32injury, but also AJ Brown.

02:34The steerless.

02:34He took a hit before the half doc.

02:36I'm an Eagles fan.

02:37Can you start with AJ Brown?

02:38Give me some good news, please on AJ.

02:42Look from the war room.

02:43We look at video.

02:44It was downfield.

02:46There was only one angle.

02:47We cannot be conclusive, but we don't have any worry for serious

02:53significant season-ending injury or anything like that.

02:57We think it's a mild knee sprain.

02:59He may have got his MCL very mildly.

03:02Obviously, he did not return.

03:03It is a short turnaround to this week's game.

03:06Not impossible that he plays.

03:08He can run in a straight line cutting might be a little limited.

03:11The good news is AJ Brown will be back.

03:14We'll be back quickly.

03:15Is it definite that he'll be back this week remains to be seen, but the

03:19fact that the possibilities open is good and I always like delivering

03:23good news.

03:23And so this one is relatively good news.

03:26Same with CD lamb.

03:27He heard it early in the game stayed in the game, right?

03:30AC joint sprain that's been conferred by media now.

03:34Look, everyone gets an MRI.

03:36He's going to get an MRI MRIs are like, you know, a candy at Halloween.

03:39Okay, everyone passes it out.

03:42Don't think there's going to be anything structural with his labrum or

03:45rotator cuff.

03:46He's going to play through maybe even with an injection now that they know

03:50there's no additional structural damage CD lamb.

03:53Yes, AJ Brown.

03:54Maybe a chance Dak Prescott on the dubious side.

03:59Yeah, the Eagles because of all of that Doc a six and a half point road

04:03favorite at the star for that huge divisional duel on Sunday afternoon.

04:0843 and a half is the total for week number 10 other wide receiver injury

04:13news.

04:13Let's go to Drake.

04:14London caught a touchdown early yesterday for the Falcons in the wind

04:18over the Cowboys and then left the game early with a hip injury.

04:22The Falcons continue to be the only team in the NFC South with a winning

04:26record divisional game for them upcoming in New Orleans on Sunday.

04:31Doc.

04:31What are the chances that Drake London able to suit up and play moving

04:34forward in week 10?

04:36Drake London has a hip pointer.

04:38He fell on in on the touchdown catch tried to stay in the game.

04:42Ultimately left hip pointers get more sore over the time over the course

04:46of the game and it really depends on what he looks like today.

04:49If he walks in today limping and on crutches and got more sore overnight.

04:53It's not going to happen this week.

04:55It all depends on what he looks like today when he hits the training room.

04:58Don't see this as long-term.

05:00Is this a week or two?

05:01It could be but it's definitely not long-term for Drake London.

05:05Doc.

05:06Let me squeeze one in on a concussion issue with Chris Olave in the

05:08New Orleans Saints yesterday.

05:10Look bad got carded off the field.

05:11The reason I want to bring this up to you is getting concussion so close

05:14together.

05:15What does that mean for the rest of the season?

05:16And quite frankly, maybe a lot of his career.

05:20Well, you make a really good point there and that's what we said from the

05:23war room here.

05:23This is his second concussion in two weeks and even last week when he

05:28didn't get a concussion.

05:29He got hit and got a head injury check.

05:32The rule of thumb is first concussion out a week second concussion out a

05:37month third season.

05:39Look, this is the second concussion in two weeks.

05:42His fifth in his career.

05:43He's going to miss at least four weeks is our belief on injury reserve.

05:48And at that point the way the Saints have lost seven straight games.

05:51Are we better off just shutting him down for the season?

05:55You know, so that's what's really on the table for him.

05:58Seven games skid for New Orleans.

06:00They just fired Dennis Allen this morning midway through his third year.

06:05Not a good recipe right now in the big easy.

06:07Dr.

06:08Chow one more game in week number nine.

06:11We go to Monday night in Kansas City, the Chiefs and the Buccaneers.

06:14We know about Tampa, of course, and their top targets.

06:17No, Mike Evans.

06:18No, Chris Godwin for tonight elsewhere, though.

06:21What's the health like for both of these teams entering the Monday night

06:24matchup?

06:26Well, you know the thankfully, you know, the health is on the rise is the

06:29Kansas City endured their share of stuff.

06:31They've got trades.

06:32They, you know, employ for tight ends and you know, they got a new running

06:36back, you know, all sorts of things.

06:37They've been shoring up to and loading up Tampa.

06:41Not so lucky there.

06:42They're too many wide receivers obviously out but in general both teams

06:46heading a little bit up towards the upside and obviously you're seeing the

06:50big wide receiver issues there for Tampa on the screen and you know, Pacheco

06:55might even make it back for the Chiefs come December.

06:58Not quite yet, but he's got a little more ways to go.

07:01We will talk about that Kareem Hunt back with Kansas City has been very

07:06good in relief.

07:07Dr.

07:08David Chow.

07:08You saw the field views there.

07:10You can continue to see that at six score.com.

07:13That's SIC score.com.

07:15Dr.

07:15Chow, as always, thank you for your time.

07:19No problem.
