| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. |
| 0:16.9 | I'm your host, Justin Boone. |
| 0:18.3 | Thank you for joining me. |
| 0:19.9 | I think you're going to be glad that you did because today we got one of the top injury analysts in the league with us, Dr. Edwin Porras of fantasy points. |
| 0:27.9 | And I normally like to do an injury update episode around this time of year. |
| 0:33.0 | You know, with players arriving to training camp, we start to get some updates. |
| 0:37.1 | This one is an absolute must though |
| 0:38.9 | we had the cam acres news drop we had michael thomas he's now set to miss the start of the season |
| 0:45.2 | maybe half the season maybe more who knows and then we got a bunch of other players that we can do |
| 0:50.4 | checkups on who are either nearing a return or maybe we're still a little concerned |
| 0:54.4 | about what could be happening with them. So I want to get to all that. Let's not waste any time. |
| 0:59.3 | Let's get Edwin in here. You can follow him on Twitter at FB injury doc. You can also listen to his show, |
| 1:05.0 | the injury prone fantasy football podcast. And we always appreciate him taking the time, especially if you don't know, |
| 1:12.5 | right now he's doing his residency. So the fact that he's carving out some time for us is just |
| 1:16.9 | incredibly generous on his part. So Edwin, welcome back to the show, man. How are you? |
| 1:21.9 | I'm doing good, Justin. I really have, I enjoy these times where we can sit down and talk about |
| 1:26.4 | football and injury-related stuff in a sort of fantasy land. So you make me sound really important, but really I enjoy being here. You're one of the dudes that I followed before I sort of, I guess, had my own little breakout as an injury analyst. You're super sharp. I like getting your takes on things. So this is always fun for me, man. This is this. I'm living the dream. |
| 1:44.7 | So I appreciate you having me. |
| 1:45.8 | Well, I appreciate you saying that. |
| 1:47.3 | And I'm glad that you're that excited about it because I got a lot of injury questions for you. But before we get to that, there is one piece of news that we have to touch on. I got to get your outlook on it. Aaron Rogers, smoothing things over with the Packers, at least, I mean, for now, we'll see what happens next offseason, but they at least smooth things over enough that he reported a training camp. The team seems to be meeting some of these demands that he had, like trading for Randall Cobb, which is apparently a done deal. It's not official, but all the reports are saying that Cobb is going to be a Packer again. So they're getting the old crew back together. And they're going to bring back. I mean, most of last year's roster is intact, the team that went to the NFC championship. And they've added the rookie Amari Rogers to the offense. So another weapon for Rogers to sling it to. And, you know, fortunately, there aren't any injuries that we need to discuss |
| 2:34.2 | for Green Bay at the moment. But did it surprise you that the Roger stuff just got resolved so |
| 2:38.8 | quickly and that he was back in Green Bay and just smiling away on Tuesday? You know, it was surprising. |
