00:00Fans clamor for Fridays because they know that Uncle Futrelli is going to hook up with
00:08Dr. Chivago.
00:10It's Dr. David Chow out in So Cali, Calit Sports Injury Central.
00:15You can follow him on AXA Pro Football Doc, he's the best in the business, and SICscore.com.
00:23So let's get into it.
00:25Joe Mix in back of practice, but give me his SICscore, and will he be carrying the
00:31ball for the Texans again this week?
00:35I love how you guys are following with SICscore, and guess what?
00:38We update it all the time.
00:39Based on the latest information, he had the high ankle sprain.
00:43This is pointing to be the week that he returns.
00:46So we're in the low 80s now, 81, 83 area, where he's going to likely play, but perhaps
00:52not have all touches.
00:54And importantly also, Damian Pierce, hamstring, the other running back, the number two running
01:00back for the Texans, looks like it's his first time back as well.
01:05Josh Allen looked like he got his bell rung last week.
01:08Do you think he was concussed?
01:10They allowed him to go back in quickly.
01:13What did you see?
01:15Well, it certainly looked like he took a pretty good hit.
01:19It was certainly at least a mandatory head check, either from a buzz down or the referee.
01:25It looked like he wanted to avoid the head check, but you can't avoid it.
01:29They apparently checked him and put him back into the game.
01:32I get it.
01:33The video looked bad of a significant hit, and it's a bad look when you have a Bills
01:38staff member offering a popper, an ammonia capsule, on the sideline to Josh Allen after
01:45that.
01:46That was an assistant strength and conditioning coach, not a member of the medical staff,
01:50so it's not exactly like he would know about the concussion and trying to do the popper.
01:55But it's an interesting, not great look, but Josh Allen is not on the injury report.
02:02He was a little evasive in press conferences.
02:06You know, I always say for a long time, why don't you have one member of medical speak
02:11to a pool reporter after the game, and you can clear these things up.
02:15Just like last night on Thursday Night Football, the referee came on immediately and said,
02:19hey, we didn't have that enhanced video, or that would have been the punt returner did
02:23touch the ball.
02:25It helps at least clarify the situation if people would say Josh Allen was checked, and
02:30this is how he was checked.
02:31And by the way, the person with the ultimate observation and approval is the independent
02:36neurologist on the sideline, who lives where?
02:39In the Houston area, not Buffalo area.
02:42That game was in Texas.
02:44So I don't think there were shenanigans, but it is a not best look for the league.
02:49What are Allen's weapons looking like for Monday night, Cook, Hollins, Samuel, and Shakir?
02:55Well, Cook looks like he has a turf toe.
02:58He doesn't look good.
02:59Shakir, still coming off the previous week, high ankle where he missed.
03:04He's not looking good.
03:05Samuel has a toe issue.
03:06Hollins, Samuel and Hollins, Hollins with the shoulder, Samuel and Hollins should go,
03:10but Cook and Shakir likely missing for Josh Allen in the bills.
03:15The Colts offense looked like it'd be playing a lot of backups with Taylor out again and
03:19Richardson and Pittman banged up both of them.
03:22But Richardson has a 72-6 score and Pittman a 36-6 score.
03:27They were in red zone drills today.
03:30Do you expect them to play?
03:32Well, Pittman was said to go on IR.
03:35Now he's, you know, did something in practice.
03:38So maybe for red zone usage, limited usage, we'll see on Pittman.
03:42Anthony Richardson is looking like he will start.
03:46His pocket play will be normal, but it's his mobility and running that we'll have to watch
03:51with his hip pointer.
03:53Jonathan Taylor already out.
03:55But a piece of the best news for the Colts might be Ryan Kelly with his neck injury.
04:00The All-Pro Center is back this week, it looks like.
04:03Giants, Neighbors out.
04:05What about Singletary?
04:08Singletary is questionable, not guaranteed to play right now.
04:12Questionable.
04:13Neighbors is definitely ruled out.
04:15It's been two weeks, really more than 14 days, because it was a Thursday-game concussion.
04:20He got a lot of grief on social media for attending the Travis Scott concert.
04:26And you know, look, I get optics, that's not great.
04:30But concussion treatment is no longer sitting alone in a cool, dark room.
04:34So just bad optics, but I don't think it necessarily delayed his return going to that
04:40rap concert.
04:41Bijon and Mooney, they were limited participants in practice earlier in the week, but they
04:47were full participants today.
04:50Are they going to be under 100% for that game for the Falcons?
04:54No, I think they'll be close.
04:57Bijon Robinson's playing through that hamstring.
04:59It's mild only, they're just listing him for, just for completeness purposes, he should
05:06play.
05:07I'm sorry, and then his knee as well, both of those guys should play.
05:11Brian Robinson, what's his status with the Commanders?
05:16Robinson is his knee, and it's more questionable.
05:20He did play through last week with it.
05:22The good news is Eckler is back, so maybe Robinson can play, just won't have his usual
05:28touches share with Eckler.
05:30ATN is a shoulder problem.
05:33How's he doing?
05:35He's doing fine, drinking tea in London as part of his rehab.
05:39Two games for the Jaguars in London.
05:42Watson of the Packers, a 55-6 score.
05:47Is Love going to have him back?
05:50I think he's on the doubtful side of questionable.
05:52Look, it's great news he didn't go into IR with his eversion-style ankle sprain, but
05:58I'm not sure that he's ready yet.
05:59But apparently, Romeo Dobbs is back this week from the personal conduct or suspension, so
06:05Packers will have a little more firepower.
06:07Warren and Fryer-Muth, are they okay for the Steelers now?
06:12They should be.
06:13They're heading the right direction.
06:14What's not good for the Steelers is the center and the right side of their offensive line,
06:18and of course, Russell Wilson is now, quote, fully healthy.
06:22So he's on the roster, not emergency quarterback.
06:26He's officially going to be Justin Fields' backup waiting in the wings, so we'll see
06:30what happens.
06:31And Levis is going, right?
06:35Levis has wanted to go, and look, Brian Callahan's been true to his word.
06:38If he's healthy, he's the starter.
06:40He is healthy, and so he is the starter.
06:43Not Mason Rudolph.
06:44Will Levis is indeed the starter.
06:4615 seconds.
06:47How did the Friar Faithful do tonight at Chavez Ravine?
06:51Well, I hope they crush, you know, for my family, then we can have some more fun times
06:56and have more Blink-182 anthems played at Petco Park.
07:02We hope they crush.
07:03Oh, the Friar Faithful and Dr. Chevago, we got to get San Diego to beat the Dodgers tonight.
07:10All right, Dr. Chevago, have a great weekend, David, my man.
