00:02 - Of course, we're going to be talking

00:03 about mobile quarterbacks like Deshaun Watson.

00:06 It always was his shoulder we were talking about,

00:08 but post-game in the press conference scene

00:09 in a walking boot.

00:11 Doc, tell us about what the walking boot does

00:12 to an ankle injury and Deshaun Watson saying,

00:14 "Don't worry about it, I'll be just fine."

00:17 - Well, you know, in game we talked about

00:19 how it was a left high ankle sprain

00:21 and it would be questionable

00:23 whether he could finish the game.

00:24 He showed a lot of toughness, he hopped around on it.

00:27 He might've gone and he went into the halftime early.

00:30 He might've gotten an injection to help him out.

00:32 Bottom line, he's finished the game.

00:34 They came back with a victory.

00:35 So good on Deshaun Watson and the Browns.

00:38 But a boot can be precautionary,

00:40 but in his case, likely necessary

00:42 with the high ankle sprain.

00:43 Now, before everyone says,

00:44 "Oh my gosh, high ankle sprain, doom and gloom."

00:47 Remember last year during the playoffs

00:49 versus Jacksonville, Patrick Mahomes

00:51 suffered a high ankle sprain

00:53 and yet played effectively the rest of the playoffs

00:55 and into the Super Bowl.

00:57 So there's different degrees of ankle sprains.

00:59 And remember in the end,

01:01 it's more about the arm than the legs for a quarterback.

01:06 So I do think Deshaun Watson will continue to play,

01:09 but I would fully expect some DNP or LP limited practice

01:13 this week leading into the next game.
