00:00 Obviously not the news anyone was hoping for,
00:03 what's going through your mind right now?
00:05 - Yeah, it's tough.
00:07 You know, you work so hard for seasons
00:11 and moments like these.
00:12 So when, you know, whenever you get hurt
00:15 and it ends at early, it's tough to handle,
00:18 but you know, that's part of the game.
00:20 Been through it before, so just got to grind it out.
00:24 - Joe, can you walk us through kind of what happened
00:25 on that leg injury in the game?
00:28 - Yeah, the play before it happened,
00:30 I landed on the wrist a little bit.
00:33 And then the next play, you know,
00:36 the touchdown pass just felt the pop
00:38 when in the middle of the throw, you know,
00:42 tried to give it a go, but just couldn't get it done.
00:46 So, and obviously got the news today, so not great.
00:51 - Yeah, one time, you know,
00:53 we saw you try to throw a couple of times,
00:54 it just didn't go.
00:55 Did you know at that moment then
00:56 that you probably just couldn't do it?
00:57 What was that?
00:58 - I knew I couldn't yesterday, so that was tough.
01:03 You know, I was excited about how that game was heading.
01:06 And then, you know, after the game,
01:10 kind of had a feeling before we got the official news,
01:15 but it is what it is.
01:17 - When you went to the tent and before you do those,
01:19 did you think, do you feel pretty good about the situation?
01:21 Did you not feel good about the situation?
01:23 - Oh, I'm not, I didn't really have a feeling at that time.
01:28 I was just going to tape it up and give it a shot.
01:31 Just couldn't.
01:33 - Jay, I mean, this is three years.
01:36 I feel like you're always kind of playing through
01:38 or been dealing with stuff, you know, injuries, tough stuff.
01:42 How do you deal with the compilation of this?
01:45 Do you worry about the compilation of this stuff
01:47 over three years?
01:49 - No, I'm just going to treat it like anything else.
01:53 You know, you analyze the situation,
01:57 go through the process of what it's going to take
02:00 to get back and you go and do it.
