00:00What is the deal with Tua Tagovailoa?

00:04Yeah, that's worrisome to me.

00:07Look, the team is saying it has not related at all to the college hip dislocation.

00:15It's, quote, a different part.

00:17But when you dislocate your hip, it's kind of all the hip that's damaged.

00:21And let's hope it's not related to the hip dislocation issue.

00:25We went back and the team at Sports Injury Central looked at video week 15 and 16.

00:30We didn't see an injury that would be explained by this practice pattern.

00:35Tua says if they make it to the playoffs, he's definitely playing.

00:38But he's missing week 17 and 18.

00:40And they've got to win to even have a chance to get in this week.

00:43But it will be Snoop Huntley at this point in time.

00:46So until we get the definition of what the hip injury really is, we have some worry for Tua.

00:54So is Higgins and Chase playing against the Steelers tomorrow night at 8 o'clock in Pittsburgh?

01:01Against your Steelers?

01:03Well, I'll give you the good news.

01:05I don't believe Chase Brown is playing for your Steelers.

01:09And obviously you've talked about the wind and the cold and you're going to the game.

01:14And the Bengals need a run game.

01:16Why? He's got a mild high ankle sprain.

01:18What's the big deal?

01:19Patrick Mahomes played through a high ankle sprain.

01:21Justin Herbert played through a high ankle sprain.

01:23But Chase Brown is a running back.

01:25It's just different requirements.

01:27I think it's very difficult to play through a high ankle.

01:31And for a running back, there's no such thing, I think, as a mild high ankle sprain.

01:35So I don't think he goes.

01:36But T. Higgins should be able to go.

01:39The Bucs need to win but have major offensive pieces banged up.

01:43What's the status?

01:45Yeah, they've got some injuries on both sides of the ball.

01:49I'm almost more worried about defense than their secondary.

01:52They've got a couple guys out.

01:54Winfield is going to be out again.

01:56At least half their secondary is out.

02:00But you know what?

02:01They've got a lot to play for and their opponent doesn't.

02:04And they don't have to cover the spread.

02:06They just need to win and they're going to host a game, a wild card game.
