00:00And we have Mike Vrabel here saying that very thing.

00:03Mike, once again, not giving the full details,

00:08but enough to talk people off the bridge.

00:11No, he won't be out there this week, and it's going to be a couple weeks.

00:15We'll have to make a decision here on our roster, see how long that will be,

00:18and go from there, but it's nothing that's going to hopefully put him out

00:21for the entire season.

00:23So there you go.

00:25Good news there from Vrabel.

00:26I wonder what they told him on the sideline.

00:30I mean, you can, I mean, it just, the way that they took him off

00:36and the way he reacted.

00:39I think the news was significantly worse.

00:42I mean, you saw all the reporters saying, well, Vrabel,

00:45you see all those videos of Vrabel giving everyone a high five,

00:48waiting outside the locker room as they come off.

00:50He didn't do that.

00:51After the win in Cincinnati, he hurried back to the locker room,

00:54which means to me he was very concerned about both players.

00:58He was probably told some ominous news about both players.

01:02So I would imagine, based on that, he was very surprised to find out that both players

01:07might be available to him at the end of the season.

01:10Right.

01:11Because a severe sprain, you're out six to 12 months.

01:17A grade two sprain, four to six weeks.

01:19A grade one sprain, two to four weeks.

01:23So if it's a sprain, I mean, I heard people saying maybe he plays after the bye week.

01:28Now that wasn't based on any reporting.

01:30That was just maybe he plays, just the act of saying maybe he plays after the bye week.

01:35So I would be interested in what they told Campbell if he had a mild sprain of his knee

01:42and then why they chose to cart him off.

01:46And then cart him from whatever room he was in to the locker room afterwards,

01:49as Mike Reese told us.

01:50I think this was, it sounds like luck.

01:55It sounds like they thought it was a lot worse on both guys.

01:59And we're given better news.

02:01Well, a high ankle sprain's not good either.

02:03No.

02:03I mean, that's, I mean, I don't know when that guy's going to play.

02:06A high ankle sprain for a lineman, that doesn't sound like, I mean, look at what it did to,

02:12I mean, you've seen guys with high ankle sprains miss weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks and weeks.

02:18The only, yeah, the only good thing is, let's say it is a three to four week thing on the high ankle.

02:24The thing that always seems to be the case with a high ankle is they get re-aggravated so easily.

02:30So if you're going to get a high ankle, I guess better to have it toward the end of the season

02:35where you give it a few weeks and if you only have to go once or twice after that, fine,

02:40because the chances of re-aggravating it are so high.

02:44Well, you don't have to worry about re-aggravating it because if you get out there

02:47and play a couple of games on it and hurt it again, the season is going to be over at that point.

02:52Yeah, Rappaport had the thing where most high ankle sprains are four to six weeks

02:57and the hope is that it's during the early portion of that timeline.

03:02So if that's the case, and Brable said he thinks that Wilson's going to be week to week,

03:07but, I mean, I don't know.

03:09Is that the hope?

03:10Because I thought they would hope that it would be very severe and that he couldn't play.

03:15I read the same thing you did.

03:17You know what?

03:17But everyone's an expert and I'm not, so there you go.

03:20I mean, I've just about had it, so I won't talk about it anymore.

03:24The bottom line.

03:26Because everyone who's a super fan, instead of just being happy that the knee isn't hurt,

03:34is mad at me for thinking that it was.

03:37So there you go.

03:38Yeah, you have to point fingers.

03:40I'm so ready for this to be over.

03:43I just want to be done for the year.

03:45The season?

03:46You want the season over?

03:47No, the season can go about its business.

03:49They can make the season twice as long.

03:51I just don't want to talk about it anymore.

03:53Oh, okay.

03:53I'm done.

03:54Uh-oh.

03:54Yeah, I'm out.

03:56I'm checked out completely.

03:57Tough considering the job.

03:59Well.

04:00I'm done.

04:00That's so good.

04:01I'm done.

04:02I'm done.

04:02That's so good.

04:02Yeah, I am.

04:03I'm done.

04:03So I'm done.
