| 0:00.0 | 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, |
| 0:55.7 | earlier in the week, it sounded like Kevin O'Connell was going to be able to watch J.J. McCarthy |
| 1:02.5 | in practice, see if he could check off some boxes, and then if he could potentially play J.J. |
| 1:09.0 | McCarthy on Sunday. But that would have required a 100% healthy |
| 1:14.1 | 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. |
