00:00He left the door open for IR more than I realized.

00:03I'm not answering that.

00:04I'm just going to say he's not practicing today.

00:05I kind of thought it was a little more dismissive.

00:07He left that door open more for IR than I thought.

00:10I thought so too.

00:11Now, he also is trying to play it where he didn't rule him out for Sunday either.

00:16Right?

00:16So it's like he might play Sunday.

00:19I'm not saying he's not for sure going on the IR, though.

00:22That also, I guess, could happen.

00:24Because at first, he didn't even want to fully commit to that he wasn't going to be out there today.

00:28That doesn't sound like it.

00:29Guys, he's not out there.

00:30He's not going to be out there.

00:32All right.

00:32You got it out of me.

00:33He's not going to play.

00:35But, yeah, this is a major – he's the best player not even up for debate on the team.

00:43We were doing a lot of research on hamstring injuries in the last break.

00:46It's all over the map.

00:47Well, it is.

00:48Their example, Justin Jefferson missed seven games.

00:50So if it's a higher-grade hamstring injury, like a grade three hamstring injury, you could miss a chunk of time.

00:56Players have gone on IR with hamstring injuries.

00:58Mike Evans did it last year in-season.

01:00I think Nico Collins did it last year.

01:01Nico Collins, yeah.

01:02Was it two years ago?

01:03He did it recently.

01:04But A.J. Brown is another one that did it in camp.

01:07A.J. Brown missed about a month.

01:09He's back out there.

01:10He's practicing with the Eagles.

01:11He injured his hamstring around a similar time.

01:13He's an older player than Gonzalez.

01:15He's not up for a contract.

01:16He got his contract.

01:17And what do you know?

01:18He's back out there ready to go.

01:20And Gonzo's going on over five weeks since his.

01:22So they're not all the same.

01:23But I would say most hamstring injuries are like three or four weeks.

01:27And you're back out there.

01:28He's going on five plus.

01:30You don't read into his annoyance at all today as frustration with Gonzalez.

01:33You still don't?

01:34See, I don't.

01:34Because I don't think he.

01:36How do you know exactly how hurt the guy is?

01:38Well, we don't know.

01:39But I would just go off the Jordan Schultz report.

01:41And you could be right.

01:41Maybe it's a bum report.

01:43Yeah.

01:43There was a lot of optimism around that report initially.

01:46Yeah.

01:46And I wonder if the team was optimistic about it.

01:49They're like, yeah, it's a grade one hamstring issue.

01:51He's going to be no problem for week one.

01:53Yeah.

01:53And they're still waiting for him to be back out there because they don't think it's that

01:56big of a deal.

01:57Yeah.

01:57I mean, it's possible.

01:58I leave the door open to that.

02:00Or it's just, hey, this team isn't that good.

02:03My best player is out.

02:05And even if he has a good reason to be out, this stinks.

02:08Like, we talked about the roster cut down day.

02:11It was as depressed as variable as sounded all camp long.

02:15And you're like, we didn't know.

02:16Is he just really looking at the 53 guys on the team now and being like, we are far ways

02:20away.
