Always much appreciated when you tune in. And don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com. Got a story up now about the return of Jaden Daniels. I'm sure you've heard about it by now.

wearing the brace, moving much better than he was a week ago with it. A week or so ago,

you could see him kind of like he'd move it and have to adjust it just to get used to the brace.

He has, he's been medically cleared.

So I know people keep freaking out because he has a brace on standard operating procedure in this
