00:00At this stage of the NFL season now in the playoffs if there are any injuries it becomes even more
00:07Vital the significance of it the injury analysis and insight bright and early on this Monday before we end out
00:15Wild-card weekend with the pro football doc. Dr. David Chow as always. Dr. Chow. We appreciate the time
00:20Thank you for joining us here on this Monday to look back on a weekend
00:24And of course one final game in the opening round tonight between the Rams and the Vikings
00:30You know, I love wild-card weekend. It's like the opening round of March Madness right game after game. It's it's pretty cool
00:37It is pretty cool. Indeed. All right, dr. Chow. Let's look back on the weekend
00:42That was a dominant defensive performance out of the Philadelphia Eagles yesterday against the Green Bay Packers defense special teams
00:50Forcing four turnovers. That was the difference
00:53But one of the leaders of that Eagles defense their linebacker
00:58Nikobe Dean feared to had suffered a significant knee injury that more than likely. Dr
01:04Chow reports say will knock him out for the remainder of this postseason
01:08What did you and your team at Sports Injury Central see with that knee injury to Nikobe Dean?
01:13What do you think his outlook is for the remainder of the postseason?
01:17You know before I get to the Kobe Dean rewind a little bit on Jordan love all week
01:22I was saying more worry about Jordan love and his elbow with a nerve issue
01:26especially gripping spinning the ball throwing downfield with accuracy than Jalen Hurts and
01:32Unusual the number of picks he threw and he really wasn't driving the ball downfield now to his credit
01:37He was not blaming the elbow or the nerve issue, but you have to wonder
01:42What role that played I know pregame Adam Schefter talked about it and even Nate Brolson talked about it
01:48And what it is the news and the Kobe Dean does not appear good
01:52Unfortunately, we don't have specific video on his left knee. It just didn't show on the replay
01:57I think it was the step before he finished the tackle
02:00But you know, obviously Carter it off is never a good sign for a guy as tough as him
02:05Doc real quick too in this game because I always like the diagnosis of what happens
02:09We hear the term stinger quite a bit in professional ranks and certainly college football Elton Jenkins got a stinger
02:15What prevents you from coming back in some players who are able to come back from stingers?
02:20Well stingers are like all injuries a little bit different most stingers happen. They're very transient. It goes away in seconds
02:27Once it starts the last minutes
02:29It usually goes hours and potentially days and stingers can have you numb and also weak so it's a nerve issue
02:37Thankfully, it's a more brachial plexus and peripheral nerve
02:40It's not a neck issue, but it's a nerve issue like a lot of nerve issues
02:44Once they don't go away very quickly. They linger a little bit. That's what happened to Elton Jenkins
02:51numerous injuries for the Packers entering the game and throughout the game in
02:56Philadelphia Green Bay season comes to a close yesterday. You can see it there
03:01Let's go to the first game doc of Sunday Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills big victory at home 31 to 7
03:08Against Denver but late in the game
03:10We saw a very zoomed in look at Allen's right throwing hand in his thumbnail partially torn and ripped off
03:19Despite Buffalo success against Denver Allen was asked immediately after the game. How's your hand? That's good, man
03:26It's playoff football, but do you think dr. Chow?
03:28There's any lingering effects to having your thumbnail on your right throwing hand partially torn off for the week following
03:36Look I get it
03:37It's his throwing hand and I've always said the thumb quote is very important to grip the most important
03:43Finger so to speak to grip and spin the football very hard with a thumb injury, but this is not a thumb injury
03:50This is a thumb tip and the nail and it's not on the pad grip side
03:55It won't affect his function at all
03:58I mean, it's football not even a blip on the radar screen as far as we're concerned
04:04Knock as always in each one of these games. We typically see some concussion injuries
04:09You see Ray Davis gets a concussion the backup running back here for the Buffalo Bills and also in that Eagles game
04:13We saw Romeo Dobbs. Let me ask you this question because like football players, you know head-on collisions happen so much
04:19But the ones that we see quite a bit which is Romeo Dobbs hitting the back of your helmet not actually from a hit itself
04:25But just hitting the ground. Is that a worse way per se to get a concussion and frontal or does it even matter at that point?
04:31It's just a matter of what type of damage is done
04:34Well, all concussions are different and the reason why you see the ground ones coming into play, especially in colder weather the grounds harder
04:42artificial turf
04:43Etc is the ground there is always there in every play the the other
04:47Person's helmet isn't always there in every play the ground is always there
04:50But the lesson to learn from that is look I am NOT against the Guardian cap at all
04:56I am NOT against it, but to say the Guardian cap prevents concussions
05:01Just isn't true. Could it help? Maybe I'm not against it. Romeo Dobbs had a recent concussion
05:08he hit the back of his head on the ground with the Guardian cap on and
05:12Still got a concussion because of the contra coup and the you know talked about the rebound effect, etc
05:19Helmets and Guardian caps can never quote all concussions
05:26That is for sure, dr
05:28Chow, let's get to the Monday night football finale of this wild-card weekend the Rams and the Vikings in Glendale, Arizona
05:35The story for LA this year a 1 and 4 start before turning it around to win 9 of their next 11 in one of the issues
05:42Dr. Chow early was how banged up the Rams were basically everywhere. What is the status of LA entering tonight against the Vikings?
05:51The Rams are actually very healthy and if you go back to that game earlier this season Thursday night game
05:57They were about to trade
05:59You know Cooper Cup and maybe even Matthew Stafford at that Thursday game the Vikings came in
06:04That was the kind of turning point for the Rams in terms of getting healthy and turning their season around
06:10So they definitely are on the healthy side. Both teams are not bad. Aaron Jones is fine. Patrick Jones is a different story, but
06:18Here's my wondering this is crazy. Not only did the home game get moved away to Arizona
06:24We get that but it's unusual that the home team Rams arrived
06:30several days earlier than the Vikings will arrive because they were
06:35Relocated and they were relocated with the families as well because of the tragedy in Los Angeles
06:42Not sure what kind of effect that will have on the Rams, right?
06:46It has to be pretty disconcerting to move like that, etc
06:50In some ways, it's great to have family there because the security may happen in LA
06:55But in some ways, what does it take away from the concentration on the game? It remains to be seen
07:02That we will see tonight on this Monday and to get more field views like that six score calm
07:08SIC score calm the great work that dr. David Chow and his team do each and every week throughout the NFL season
07:15Dr. Chow, thank you very much more from Monday night of that
