00:00All right, let's talk about Mahomes.

00:02How did he go from a high ankle sprain

00:04to practicing fully this week?

00:07And you know he's going to go tomorrow.

00:10Well, I've said it for a while.

00:12He's, and I hope I'm not dating myself,

00:14he's Gumby, like that cartoon character,

00:16stretchable and made out of clay.

00:19In all seriousness, his collagen is built differently.

00:23This is why his arm is a slingshot.

00:25You remember when he dislocated his kneecap,

00:28never had surgery because nothing tore it.

00:30Things just stretched.

00:32Now this is not the first time in 2022

00:34in the playoffs against Jacksonville divisional round.

00:37He had a high ankle sprain, finished the game,

00:39played the next week in the conference championships

00:42and then won the Super Bowl against the Eagles in 2023.

00:45And he says this high ankle is not as bad

00:48as the one in 2022.

00:50So we call it a high ankle from the war room here.

00:54And we thought if it were as bad as 2022,

00:58Andy Reid might sit him to get him healthy for the playoffs,

01:01but he looks like a go.

01:04Nelson Aguilar is out.

01:05Will Rashad Bateman be okay for the Ravens tomorrow?

01:08Or are they going to be having to throw to tight ends

01:10all day against the Steelers?

01:13Well, the good news is they got some pretty good tight ends,

01:16right, between Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

01:19But here's the thing, Aguilar's out for concussion.

01:22Rashad Bateman got in a limited practice,

01:25but it is hard to go from a boot midweek

01:28to playing on Saturday, not even Sunday.

01:32But this is an all hands on deck game for both sides.

01:35The Ravens will take over first place based on tiebreaker

01:39if they can win.

01:40And the Steelers clinched the division with a win.

01:43So, you know, it's big for both sides.
