All right, we had the whole damn thing recorded and then they decided, hey, Emmanuel, you're hurt. Let's have a podcast.

What up everybody? It's J.P. Finley and Mitch Tishler. We're sharing a

microphone. Manual Forbes getting surgery. So big man, this is how I think

this goes down. Sunday night we're in Tampa we see Forbes walk to the

x-ray room he comes back he tells us everything's fine. Forbes was a full

participant in practice yesterday on the injury report full. a limited participant today Thursday in practice now he we saw him yesterday had the

splint on there said he's fine he can play I'm sure it's an issue right like there you got a ligament thing in there but I think

they have seen enough that a break isn't the worst thing and so the conversation inside the halls of

Ashburn goes like this

hey guys uh... eventually manual is gonna need surgery on this thing

what do you think should we do it now or should we wait and did anybody be like

oh we got to wait nope I think this is a convenient way to get out of a problem

for a while I would expect an IR stent here I I would expect Chig to get caught up from the

practice squad. I don't know that any of this makes it better, but I think they've

got a problem with Forbes that they don't want to undermine a young man's

confidence if it still exists

and this is a way around that with

whether it's a real or fake injury it exists

yeah i mean i think we saw this a little last year with Brayden Daniels and what they did with him putting him on I-R.

He wasn't quite ready to play, so you...

It's like, you definitely can't be on the field.

Sure, there was no question.
