We speculated a little bit about Jamar Chase's injury on our main show, but we wanted to get a

medical professional, so we're going to bring in Dr. Brandon Bowers. I'm Jake Lisko from the

Lockdown Bengals podcast. This is a bonus episode for anyone who's interested in nerding out a little

bit and understanding the specifics of what might be going on with Jamar Chase. We've had Dr.

Bowers on before to talk about various injuries in the past.

And if you're interested in following Dr. Bowers on Twitter,

if you're watching on YouTube, you can see his Twitter handle there.

There is at DR. Doctor, at DR Brandon Flowers on Twitter.

He works for Athletico, Physical Therapy, in Cincinnati, so you can also

find him there. And I think last time we talked to you is probably about Joe Burroughs recovery.

Today we're going to talk about Jamar Chase's recovery as he's dealing with what's reported

to be a hip fracture as of Thursday night when we're having this conversation.

And the additional reporting that gives us some degree of specificity is that there's no surgery

required here.

And from a medical point of view, Dr. Bowers, what does that tell you about this injury for Jemar Chase?

Now, when it comes to the non-surgical diagnosis here early on, it gives him some clearance

that this isn't a significant emergency type situation.

When you sustain a pretty significant fracture to the hip or you get a displaced fracture of

the hip, he's in the OR tomorrow to address the issue.

You don't want to develop what we call avascular necrosis, which is death of the bone, is a pretty sticky situation.

And you're also dealing with some vascular, so your femoral artery is in that area.

And any damage to that is also a medical emergency.
