00:00Some conflicting reports, Joe, around Kansas City wide receiver Rasheed Rice and the extent
00:09of his injury that he suffered early in week four in the game against the Chargers.
00:14Of course, after Patrick Mahomes threw a pick, he was trying to make the tackle.
00:18So was Mahomes.
00:19Mahomes goes in to the right knee of Rice.
00:23It seemed as though it would be a significant knee injury and we would know about a week
00:27ago that Rice's season had come to a close, but there's been some weirdness.
00:33They haven't really talked about the extent of the injury.
00:36He was placed on IR ahead of week number five.
00:39So out for at least a month, there were some optimistic reports.
00:43He's apparently going to go under the knife today to figure out the true extent of the
00:48injury.
00:49We had ESPN's Adam Schefter providing more of a positive update and then perhaps the
00:54real one from NFL Network's Ian Rappaport.
00:57While chief star Rasheed Rice's season is expected to be over, he did receive positive
01:02news today from Dr. Dan Cooper.
01:05Rice needs his LCL repaired, but there is a chance that's the only ligament to be repaired.
01:12He expected to make a full recovery.
01:14So I'm not sure if the fear was, hey, this guy might not be ready even for the start
01:18of 2025 based on how gruesome the knee injury was.
01:22And this is the good news, but I don't think it means that Rasheed Rice comes back by the
01:27time we get to mid-December.
01:30I don't think it's even remotely close.
01:32And I don't understand what the confusion is here or why we're pretending like it's
01:36anything other than what we saw it for our own eyes here.
01:40Very strange.
01:41I don't know if it has something to do contractually, Ben, or I don't understand why they're trying
01:48to play coy with the health of that knee and this player who clearly is not going to
01:55be a factor for them this year.
01:58I don't even know how you come back from something like that.
02:01So I'm just shocked that it's taken doctors this long to figure out what they're going
02:06to do with the knee.
02:07I mean, is there something that doctors in the NFL have not seen before, Ben?
02:11Is that possible?
02:12Yeah.
