We'll be joined by C.J. McCollum from the Wizards in just about 35-ish minutes.

That's at 9 a.m. but we wanted to get into Jaden Daniels.

0:17.4

Do you bring him back with a slight hamstring injury to play against the Chiefs,

0:21.3

or do you shelve him and save him for the rest of the season?

800-636-1067. He had the MRI. It's not a significant injury, but it's still a hamstring injury.

0:34.4

Those can get worse. They can linger if they don't heal properly.

0:38.9

I don't think a week is enough time for a hamstring to heal 100% even if it's a minor

0:44.7

hamstring ding.

0:46.4

I don't know.

0:46.9

What do you guys think?

0:47.6

Do you think you should get Jaden out there for this game to try to get them to four and

0:51.6

four?

0:52.4

Or does Jaden sit this week?

0:54.0

I think if he's cleared by the
