00:03 - Let's go over first,
00:04 and this will play into whether he'll play or not.
00:06 A hyperextended knee is when you jam your knee,
00:08 it stiffens, it gets straightened out
00:10 like if you were hyperextended your elbow,
00:12 and you typically cannot bend it.
00:14 There's typically some room you could have
00:15 as long as there's no associated other issues
00:18 with the knee that he hurt,
00:21 but it's stiff and it's hard to get loose.
00:23 Now, over the years,
00:25 I've seen some players play the same week
00:27 and not the same week.
00:28 Here's the problem.
00:29 The injury of this knee, two days, Pharrell,
00:31 before the game, yes, they don't have to fly.
00:34 They're gonna host the Lions on Thursday night,
00:37 but this is an injury that they're gonna have to deal with.
00:39 He's getting testing as we speak here tonight.
00:42 I'm sure we'll find out what the results are.
00:46 Hopefully, hopefully,
00:48 it's nothing more than a hyperextension,
00:50 but you're right.
00:51 It's hard because when you stiffen that knee
00:53 and you can't get it loose,
00:54 even if you could play on that knee,
00:56 it's hard to move.
00:57 Now, what would happen if he can't play?
01:01 Noah Gray, who was a third year tight end at a Duke,
01:03 he's pretty athletic.
01:05 He would be the guy who would catch the ball
01:06 at the tight end position.
01:08 Blake Bell is a journeyman tight end
01:09 who would be what we call wide tight end.
01:10 He would play in line,
01:12 but what the real result would be here, Pharrell,
01:15 there would be heavy, heavy,
01:17 I mean, heavy 11 personnel,
01:19 a ton of free receiver sets.
01:20 Last year, if you remember, Pharrell,
01:22 they didn't run a lot of them.
01:23 They ran a lot of two tight end sets
01:25 'cause they were not strong at wide receiver.
01:27 They're very optimistic about Kadarius Toney
01:29 to come back from his knee problem
01:31 that he's had for six weeks.
01:33 He's practiced a lot this week and last week.
01:35 They're pretty optimistic that he'll be able to play.
01:37 They don't know how much he'd be able to play.
01:39 Sky Moore's a starter.
01:40 He'll be mostly in the slot.
01:41 Marquez Valdez-Scanlon on the outside.
01:44 Rasheed Rice, their second round picker,
01:45 they're really high on,
01:46 and Justin Watson, their shot play guy.
01:48 So they're super deep now at wide receiver.
01:50 That's not the problem,
01:52 but if they do not have Travis Kelsey,
01:54 who will be a Hall of Fame player,
01:56 who's one of the best tight ends in NFL history,
01:59 who, by the way, had a career year at 33 years old,
02:02 that'd be devastating, not to mention,
02:05 not to mention right now
02:06 they don't have their pro ball defensive tackle.
02:08 Chris Jones is holding out for a new contract.
