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.
