Welcome back to the Adam Schaefter podcast, and on this week's edition, we will be joined by the ESPN college football and NFL analyst Robert Griffin III, who may be working at ESPN only a short time because he still is taking

0:25.5

calls from NFL teams, spoke to teams this week, and who knows if and when one of those

0:32.2

opportunities will materialize. But they certainly could with all the quarterback

0:36.7

injuries across the league.

0:39.0

Tyrod Taylor is going to miss multiple weeks in Houston, including Thursday night's game

0:44.4

against the Carolina Panthers.

0:45.9

Andy Dalton is going to be week to week in Chicago.

0:48.5

It might be hard for him to play this upcoming week.

0:51.4

Ben Rathesberger is dealing with a peck injury in Pittsburgh,

0:55.1

Derek Carr, an ankle injury in Las Vegas, Carson Wentz, sprained both ankles, not one, but both.

That week, Jimmy Garapolo, Christian McCaffrey, Saquan Barclay, Rahim Moster, Cortland Sutton, Sterling Shepard, Nick Bosa, Anthony Barr,

1:46.3

Byron Jones, Malik Hooker, all injured. None of them returned to the game that Sunday,

1:52.1

week two last year. Many were out for the year. And this past Sunday, week two, the NFL season

1:56.3

was almost like a replay of week two last year. Typically, week two and three are a lot more injury prone

2:03.4

than week one. Let's hope that this upcoming weekend, week three in the NFL, is a healthier

2:08.6

one than week two. We will continue to keep our fingers cross there. All right, our guest this week
