| 1:27.5 | Adam, I'm doing great. I appreciate you having me on the show to chat about some injuries here. Oh, I know. I wish we didn't have to do it. But you know, the number one pick in fantasy drafts and many fantasy drafts, say, Juan Barclay. |
| 1:38.5 | He could what do you think of the timeline is we've seen four to eight weeks high ankle spray and what are you thinking here for Barclay? |
| 1:44.5 | Yeah, really the time on that they've given the four to eight and I saw it four to six before he had his MRI is really right on par with what we typically see with this type of injury. |
| 1:52.5 | When we have a high ankle sprain, it's an injury to the send his most is joint, which is a stable joint that's right above the ankle. And when it's injured, it becomes very unstable and becomes problematic. So I'd say four to eight weeks is right on course with what we typically see clinically. |
| 2:05.5 | And he should be back to being 100% afterwards afterwards. He'll probably a little bit limited. |
| 2:12.5 | There's a chance that this thing will bark at him the rest of the season. It'll really take probably a full off season for him to get 100% right. |

| 2:58.5 | We don't have probable anymore as of a few years ago now. Have you been able to read in between the lines, basically with some different coaches, different teams and their injury reports? |
| 3:07.5 | Yeah, I mean, it can be a little bit difficult at times. But what would I rely on heavy is just my clinical experience when you have an idea of certain injuries. |
| 3:15.5 | For example, a soft tissue injury, a hamstring or a quad, which we'll chat about with some guys here in a little bit tend to be a little more finicky. |
