00:00Yes, I cleared today. Today was the last thing I had to do with the Dodgers, sir.

00:05And you're going to play on Sunday?

00:06Full goal, yes.

00:08What are you looking forward to the most about getting back with Joe on the field?

00:12Just honestly, just competing with my guys, you know, competing with everything else.

00:16You know, obviously I had to watch the game last week. It looked like fun, so just wanted to go out there, you know, and compete.

00:22Can you walk us through kind of what happened on that play, kind of what you remember before the concussion?

00:26I thought it was called, you know, go get me a ball.

00:33You ended up having a concussion at the end.

00:36What do you remember going into the locker room kind of as everything happened?

00:40Like, what was kind of running through your mind in that moment?

00:43Honestly, you know, you know, once something like that happens, you want to go back in the game.

00:47You know, I'm asking the pain if I can go back in, but, you know, stand in the concussion quarter car,

00:51I have to go do the tests and things like that.

00:53So, obviously, it ended up being out for the rest of the game.

00:58You said it looked like fun when you were watching me.

01:00What looked like fun?

01:02Did it look like the old days?

01:03It just looked like, you know, everything was clicking.

01:06You know, they was playing Cogneria football, you know, defense was getting turned over.

01:09The offense was, you know, scoring off some of those.

01:11So, definitely, yeah.

01:13It's hard to believe, I don't know, it's been since week two that all three of you have been back on the field together.

01:18I know, it's been a minute, man.

01:19You know, I'm definitely looking forward to it.

01:21It'll be great.

01:22How scary was it?

01:26It was very scary.

01:27You know, any injury is scary for anybody.

01:32You know, thank God that I'm able to play again this weekend and keep playing for the rest of the season.

01:39So, I think all but two of your 100-yard games are in November and December.

01:44And you wouldn't strike me as being a cold-weather player.

01:48You are.

01:49I mean, but, you know, you went to school down south or from the south.

01:52And yet, you have these big games when the weather's the nasty news.

01:55And you think, it's a great hat side.

01:58Well, I just try to, you know, try to put my best before, you know, to try to get my team, you know, get a win.

02:06So, that's what I do each and every single week.

02:08And you still happen to be that way, you know, with those 100-yard games.

02:12You know, hopefully, people do that.

02:13Is it something about, like, you know, big games?

02:15You know, I guess those things don't.

02:16At the end of the day, I just want to, you know, do my job.

02:19Got my team to get a win.

02:21Whether it be me getting 100 yards and me getting 30 yards.

02:23I just want to do my job.

02:25What were the conversations like about potentially staying, about being ready to come back?

02:30Because of how severe that concussion was.

02:32What happened?

02:32It was just, you know, getting through concussion protocol, seeing how I'm feeling.

02:37Running out, running, running around, some things like that.

02:41It's basically all just on me.

02:42You know, seeing how I'm feeling and passing those tests.

02:44How did you feel as you went through this week?

02:46What was that like?

02:46It felt amazing.

02:48You know, I felt feeling the better.

02:50It felt amazing.

02:50And, you know, here's some things going through.

02:51I was surprised about myself.

02:52You know, I don't want to know yourself.

02:55It was yine, bro.

02:55And you know, I can't promise you, I have to take away the fall.

02:58I mean, it was lorry, but I feel like, you know, no way, let's go.

03:00I said, look, comment.
