| 0:22.8 | We get to what actually matters. |
| 0:24.5 | That's Boomer and Gio and you can listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your pods. The injury report is brought to you by the hospital for special surgery and by the score bet the way betting was meant to be. Joining us from the hospital for special surgery is Dr. Steve O'Brien. |
| 0:40.0 | Doc, welcome. |
| 0:40.6 | How are you? |
| 0:41.8 | Mike, how are you today? |
| 0:43.0 | Doc, let me start with Mahomes, the big star, out this week. |
| 0:47.1 | They let him come back to practice. |
| 0:49.1 | First of all, it was a dislocated knee cap, not a dislocated knee, |
| 0:52.7 | which is a completely different thing we know. We went through that last week. But he went back to practice this week, and then they ruled them out. How long do you think it will be until he can play? One week. One week? Yeah, I read that he wasn't ruled out for Sunday, so he must know something. |
| 1:11.1 | I don't know. |
| 1:11.5 | Yeah, he just was ruled out. He just was ruled out now. He was just ruled out for this Sunday, about an hour ago, according to the report. Yeah, I think that's a good move. Not that he's at any great risk. He's at some risk, but he's not going to be himself.

But he probably could play if he had to if this was the Super Bowl. I bet you'd see him out there. I think they're smart to keep him out. Okay. So you think one week just to kind of let him get comfortable |
| 1:49.7 | on his knee? Oh, yeah, because his knee's going to be sore. His reaction time is going to be a little |
| 1:55.7 | bit off. And one thing to know about a dislocated kneecap, the first time it happened with trauma, |
| 2:00.7 | but it can happen if he pivots quickly or turns |
| 2:03.3 | in the pocket quickly. |
| 2:05.2 | And although it's his trail leg, I think they're smart to give him another week to get used |
| 2:08.4 | to things. |
| 2:09.4 | Here's what Andy said. |
| 2:10.4 | Andy said, in my mind, he just wasn't ready yet. |
| 2:15.3 | This was my decision, not his. |
| 2:16.9 | He wanted to play. I just want to give |
