00:00 Last week it was a little rough for me. I was on the sideline. Couldn't throw a football. Couldn't go out there on the team.
00:05 So it was kind of eating me up inside.
00:07 But I'm excited to be back.
00:09 Throwing the ball with the guys. Bringing the energy back into the locker room. I'm excited to be back. I'm ready to play.
00:15 The injuries I've gotten so far, it's nothing crazy. I bang my knee on the turf. Everybody gets hurt on turf.
00:22 You just hit your knee really hard on the hard surface. And then hitting my head on the ground.
00:27 That's part of the ball. I don't think I should change the way I play.
00:30 I think I play smart enough to know when to get down, when not to get down.
00:33 But it is what it is. Hopefully I can stay healthy for the rest of the season.
00:37 We were working that play all week. We were kind of expecting it and hoping for it to work. It worked.
00:42 Granson got the block. He kicked out stingily for me.
00:45 And I just thought it was an easy walk-in touchdown. And I was just trying to trot it in there.
00:49 And then guys closed in fast.
00:51 And I tried to brace for it. And the way I turned, my body just flopped back when I hit my head on the ground.
00:56 That was that.
00:57 When did you notice that you were feeling different or you had some symptoms?
01:01 After that play, I had a headache. But I was just thinking it was from the ground. Nothing too crazy.
01:07 So I asked them, "Can you all take me for a concussion just in case I have time?"
01:11 They were like, "If you had one, you've got to take it now."
01:13 So I was like, "No, I'm good. I think it's just a headache."
01:15 Went out there for two more drives. I noticed that I wasn't feeling the way that I should.
01:20 So I asked them to take me to the tent and just check to see.
01:23 Because I didn't want to hurt the team. Continue to try to play and be messing around and lose.
01:27 So I was just thinking for the team and the team's best interest.
