00:00Let's start with a big game between the Eagles and the Cowboys where it loses some of its juice

00:09due to the injuries, but that's why for you with us here, it's one of the most important on the

00:14slate. What can you tell us not only about Dak's outlook, but what everything looks like in game

00:20for this one? Look, Dak not being placed on IR right now is no big deal because he's going to

00:27miss more than four weeks. They're doing him the courtesy to get all the second opinions.

00:31It's a hamstring tendon injury. Those are different than hamstring muscle.

00:36Surgery is likely, is on the table and likely, and he's going to miss six weeks or so,

00:43which means essentially his season is done unless the Cowboys stay alive with Cooper Rush,

00:48which they did last time. The bigger deal for Dallas is besides no run game and obviously

00:53it's Cooper Rush, and he's certainly not horrible, is defense. They've got DB problems still

01:01and Mika Parsons at least can return this week, but we're not sure that he's going to be 100%.

01:07Meanwhile, on the other side of the ball, you got A.J. Brown back healthy, Dallas Goddard back

01:14healthy, Milad is sort of the only one, even Darius Slay is back for the Eagles.

01:20Yeah, Dak, curious for you, an interesting moment earlier this week where

01:25Sirianni accidentally, whatever it is, lets us know about a Jalen Hurts ankle injury.

01:31I'm curious twofold there. One, how teams handle rest versus no, he actually is not feeling great.

01:39And then how you guys go, do we have to go back and double check the film and figure out where

01:43this ankle injury appeared? We do that all the time. We go back based on information and look

01:49at film and see what's happening. But let me let you in on a little secret. It shouldn't be a secret.

01:54Do you honestly think NFL owners hire five athletic trainers, a physical therapist or two,

02:00travel with three doctors and there's only six people on the injury report list? Give me a break.

02:06We're week 10 of the season, 85% is a good week. Three quarters of the team comes in for treatment

02:12during the week. They're not all on the injury report. Now, when it's your quarterback, the NFL

02:18cares a little more, right? This is why even the quarterback position, you have to specify side,

02:23like Trevor Lawrence, left shoulder, not right shoulder. But this is fairly routine for a lot

02:29of players. But because it's Jalen Hurts, you're going to get a lot of attention on it.
