Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul,

Matthew Collar here along with Manny Hill.

And we have got a lot to discuss tonight, including Manny Picking the schedule.

And, uh, well, that should be quite a thing that we're

going to do later on in the show. But we're going to get into Vikings, Lions, expectations

for J.J. McCarthy. And Manny, unfortunately, we got to start in a place with an injury, which is

Christian Darrasaw not practicing today.

And there has been a little confusion on that because Darrisaw was using Thursdays as a recovery day at times throughout the season.

But I will read you the Kevin Sefer tweet.

He said Christian Darrasaw has taken rest days most weeks this season,

but today was not an official rest day. He didn't practice because his knee is not 100%. This wasn't

for maintenance, no setbacks, no deep concern about his availability, just an accurate reflection

of his condition. And by deep concern for his availability, just an accurate reflection of his condition.

And by deep concern for his availability, I'm not sure what that means.

We'll find out tomorrow from Kevin O'Connell, whether he is active for the game or not,

but not practicing on a Thursday because the knee is not 100%.

Mani, this is just toss a cherry on top of a season

that has had a lot of these types of things go wrong. But not having Derisaw, we've seen the

impact of it and not having him back at 100% by midway through the season. We are now talking a year from the time where he tore his ACL against the Los Angeles

Rams.

It does raise the concern about Christian Derasaw getting back to 100% this year.

Is that going to happen?
