00:08 Yeah, if you know real interesting to start the week a Detroit Lions center that really is battled a tough toe injury
00:14 That has kind of played him all throughout the 2022 season and you recognize that this is a player that
00:19 Really wants to be out there and for him to miss playing time a couple years ago to struggle with it all last year
00:25 He told the local reporters that he really got to a dark place
00:28 But now that the Detroit Lions have a new training staff a new head of athletic training you look at everything that's going on
00:36 They're doing everything they possibly can to make sure that he's comfortable and that he can sustain success and be out there
00:42 Over the course of 17 weeks and it's happening. He feels a lot more comfortable
00:46 he feels like the maintenance program where he gets certain days off from practice the
00:51 opportunities that he gets in the training room the in the medical room and the treatment that the treatments that he's getting are
00:57 Allowing him to feel much more comfortable to feel
00:59 alleviation of some symptoms that he deals with and I think it gives him more peace of mind that he can go out there and

01:25 Regularly thinking about it wondering was he gonna be able to practice with his team?
01:29 Was he gonna have to miss time after having a surgery a couple years ago and still struggling with it all throughout last year now
01:35 It's at a much more comfortable place and he even joked and said look all you supporters that are sending him messages
01:41 Offering up their toes. It's not needed
01:44 He's able to perform at a high level this year and for a player of his caliber and his grittiness
