Always much appreciated when you tune. Don't forget, you can read my work on ESPN.com and you club members, I'll be doing the Zoom session on Sunday at about, let's see, we'll go one o'clock. So I'm going to get there early. If you 1 o'clock, we'll do the Zoom just to get you guys ready for this big game against the Detroit Lions. Can they pull it off? We'll get to all that in a few minutes. I do want to get to a few things first. Just some injury updates. And I'm sure you know by now that Jane Daniels is not going on IR. I talked about that before and that he was a good sign that you knew that everything was positive right now. I've heard he's doing really well as far as, like, how he feels and how it's like there's not a ton of soreness there for him at all. And I'd heard early in the week that there wouldn't be any surgery, but you have to let it play out because you don't know. Like he was getting other opinions, so there's not going to be a surgery. Surgery for that situation is not always the most common outcome. There are some scenarios where it could have happened. And that would have been something that would have taken a lot longer to recover because there would have been other issues. So the fact that he's not on IR, the fact that, you know, that there was no, there's no surgery, there's nothing like that. There's no ligament damage. Those are all really good signs. Now, will he come back? Well, that's going to be a story for when he's healthy. And we don't know yet.

And I think if the, and it depends on how long is that. Like what Dan Quinn said is they would reevaluate it after the buy week. So that's, of course, they have two more games before then. I do believe strongly that it would depend on where they are with the playoff chase. Like if they win one of the next two or

it won one of the next two and you're four and seven, if maybe you win both, now you feel like

you're back in it and you should and you're going to December with a shot, then that's where I

could see him coming back depending on when he's healthy. I do not believe they will, for anybody

worried about rushing him back, that has not been their

MO with Jaden or anybody else.

And even in that game, like, whether or not you want him in the game, he wasn't hurt.

And they, so it wasn't, this is nothing like the Robert Griffin III situation at all.

So many different layers to it.

It is not the same.

Starting with the fact that, again, whether or not you believe he should have been in there at 12 and a half minutes, that's when he started to drive at 7.5. Should he been in there? That's a different story. But it wasn't like they left him in hurt and he subjected himself to worse. So I don't think they'll bring them back unless they really, really think like they have a shot, but we'll see how that all plays out down the road. And then for Sunday, again, obviously,

Tara McClearns out. Do not expect them to see him in Madrid either. And then questionable

would be Tyler Owens, Eddie Goldman, and then Kwan Martin. It does sound like we saw like I was watching

Juan Martin out there in practice the last couple of days, including Friday, running sprints,
