00:00What are the plans for the offensive line and does either Davis or Bates factor into the equation?

00:07Why we can't determine the plan until we know who all's healthy and Larry Boreham's making some decent money, too

00:14he

00:16You know he hit that

00:18Escalator for for year four so I think Larry Boreham's of like three million bucks

00:24I'm pretty sure right and that he's on injured reserve as well with Bates

00:30It sounds like Larry

00:31will

00:33Probably be a return-to-practice guy this coming week

00:36He had the high ankle sprain in the preseason game at Kansas City

00:41And I think they start the window for him

00:46the

00:47You were always kind of looking after the bye week. I believe with Ryan Bates if he's there

00:54Next week wouldn't surprise me if he needs a little more time also wouldn't surprise me so

01:00How does it shake out with all these bodies? We've got to see?

01:04Where everyone's at when everyone is healthy

01:08You know if if Bates and Boreham come back right away look good in practice

01:14You've got to make some moves. You can't keep

01:1711 offensive linemen on the 53-man roster they started the season with 10

01:22They went down to 9 when they put Bates on

01:26I are and they're at 9 right now

01:30So if they have a lineman go down

01:34Moving forward. It's pretty simple. You know swap them out there as long as Larry or Ryan

01:40Are ready to go if everyone's healthy

01:43They're gonna have to make some moves and Nate Davis could be the odd man out like he's not gonna if he's gonna be a

01:50healthy and active

01:51Against Jacksonville, and you've got more people healthy

01:58He could go with his guaranteed salary and be paid up, you know handsomely by the organization through the end of the season
