Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar, here.

0:12.0

We've got yet another injury report leading up to Vikings and Eagles.

0:16.3

A lot to discuss tonight at 6.50 here, about 35 minutes into the show if you're rewatching.

0:24.5

Eric Sidewater, a great, great guest who breaks down X's and O's. He's watched a ton of Vikings

0:31.3

film to look at how the teams are going to match up. He generally covers the Eagles, but great,

0:36.4

great deep analysis there. And then later on

0:39.2

tonight, Manny Hill, as always, picks the schedule. But let's dive into the injury report. Right

0:45.4

away, J.J. McCarthy, not a full participant in practice today. So that tells you there really

0:52.8

isn't a decision for KOC to be made. I mean,

earlier in the week, it sounded like Kevin O'Connell was going to be able to watch J.J. McCarthy

in practice, see if he could check off some boxes, and then if he could potentially play J.J.

ankle at least for Thursday. This is a big practice day, as has been noted numerous times,

1:20.9

by Kevin O'Connell when J.J. McCarthy missed it due to the birth of his child. So we know if he's

1:27.1

not practicing in full

1:28.5

on Thursday, he is certainly not going to play on Sunday. I think what the question will be that

1:34.3

will be answered by O'Connell tomorrow is whether he will be active at all. And my guess would

1:40.6

be probably not that Max Brosmer will be the backup quarterback.

1:44.7

That's just a guess.

1:45.9

We will, again, find that out probably tomorrow.

1:48.4

But if Brosmer's the backup, you are one slammed shoulder into the ground away from Max getting to play football in the NFL, which he's already done a little bit of in the Cincinnati game and then

2:01.7

one play at the end of the half in London against Cleveland.
