00:00So the Packers are all kinds of banged up. What's their sixth score as a team and who's in, who's out?
00:07Well, this is where we're going to wait until the final reports are out because what we're doing this week for the sixth scores is if a player sits because of rest, because of injury risk, we're treating them as injured.
00:22If Patrick Holmes is out, we're treating him as injured, right? And so we're going to look at the final numbers here.
00:29But yeah, Packers will be banged up some, but it still seems like they've got enough to beat the Bears at home.
00:35And let's face it, they don't want to end up in the seventh seed and go to Philadelphia.
00:41What are the guys in sick think of Anthony Richardson's back problem that he's now saying he's had basically his whole life? Like what is happening here?
00:51Well, since I just got back from skiing, we've said all along at Sports Injury Central, we have worry about Anthony Richardson last year when he got hurt early in the season for running.
01:02Running is part of his game. And if you run as part of your game, the defenders are going to hit you.
01:08It's like if you keep skiing double black diamonds, you're more likely to get hurt than me who's skiing greens and blues at this point in time.
01:16And the disc issue is not something to take lightly. Sometimes that leads to surgery.
01:21So I don't believe the rumors of I know he's getting grief for, quote, tapping out earlier this season.
01:27This is not a tap out on his part. I think he has a real injury, but that brings up other real concerns.
01:34A disc. Does he need surgery? How bad is it? And yes, I think there are some long term question marks in terms of how available he will be.
01:43Right. Your best ability is your availability. Sometimes it hurts. Going to be a problem for the Eagles with his concussion.
01:52I don't believe so. This is why I've been saying that I didn't think there was any chance that he would play in week 17.
01:59And that extends to week 18. Ninety five percent of concussions clear by two weeks.
02:04I don't think the Eagles have pushed his concussion clearance yet, because what happens if he takes a hit in practice or in the game?
02:12A second concussion within a week or two will have him out for a month, which is all the playoffs.
02:17Right. Look at Chris Alave. Look at Tua Tagovaiola. So the Eagles are just being safe.
02:21He'll be there for the wild card round for the Eagles.
02:24Real quick, in terms of Brock Purdy, is he going to have elbow surgery again?
02:31No, it's related injury to the elbow. When you do that, Tommy John type surgery on a collateral, you move the ulnar nerve.
02:38He just got his ulnar nerve dinged. And I don't think there's any worry for further surgery.
02:43I don't think there's any contractual worry in the 49ers want to sign him. There's no reason not to with that elbow.
02:50All right.
