00:00Two part question, Darius Bratton, he didn't play on Saturday.
00:04Is that a long term issue?
00:05And also Mike Green, we haven't seen him in a long time.
00:07Yeah, so Darius is, we're hoping, not a long term issue.
00:12He played in the first game, and man, love him cuz he gave us everything he had,
00:17but he's just not healthy.
00:18He's dealing with a bone bruise and high angle sprain, and so
00:22that takes a little bit of time.
00:24And so we're hoping that it won't be long term.
00:27He didn't do much last week practice wise.
00:29He's out there this week moving around.
00:31But what I told him, and what I told Kelly, our head trainer, I said, look,
00:37it's not fair to put him out on the field if he's not healthy cuz he can't
00:40protect himself.
00:41And there were some times in that first game that he was compensating and
00:44he almost got himself hurt.
00:45So I'm hoping the next couple weeks we'll see him back.
00:48And with Mike Green, he's just no longer active with the team anymore.
00:53And that's where I'm gonna leave that one.
