00:02 - How bad was that Holcomb knee blowout?
00:07 It looked to me like his entire knee
00:10 literally blew out from one side to the other
00:12 to the back of his leg.
00:13 Like I knew right when I saw the hit, he was finished.
00:17 - Yeah, you're right.
00:19 And the biggest worry there isn't just for the knee
00:23 or for the ligaments.
00:24 The biggest worry initially is for the artery and nerve.
00:28 So there's gonna be a period of observation,
00:30 something hospital wise.
00:32 I try to be optimistic and look at the bright side,
00:35 but the reality is this is a big deal for this young man.
00:39 Look, the Steelers already lost,
00:41 now they're top two tacklers with Holcomb
00:43 and Minkah Fitzpatrick with the hamstring.
00:45 His knees is much worse than perhaps it looked
00:49 with Traylen Burks for the Titans.
00:52 Ambulance, all that stuff hit his head, wasn't moving.
00:56 But that one didn't look that bad
00:57 and indeed he never got taken to the hospital
01:00 and he even flew home with the Titans.
01:02 So at least some upside news for Traylen Burks,
01:04 not as good for Cole Holcomb.
01:07 - So they're saying that he's gonna make a full recovery
01:10 from this knee surgery.
01:12 What does it entail when you have a knee
01:15 that severely damaged?
01:17 What are we looking at?
01:18 - Well, it's at least a posterior cruciate ligament injury.
01:22 It could be what we call the posterior lateral corner
01:24 or a LCL as well.
01:27 So it is almost like a knee dislocation,
01:30 not as severe as Nick Chubb,
01:32 but this is a big deal recovery for this young man.
