00:06 Is that what you're expecting?
00:07 >> I wouldn't say that.
00:07 I mean, this business is unexpected.
00:09 You really don't know what happens.

00:31 Do you have any experience coming back from that in the past?
00:34 >> I mean, injuries, not knee specifically.
00:37 >> When you come back from injuries before, what's the first thing,
00:41 what did you have to do?
00:41 I mean, what's the last thing that comes?
00:43 Like, you have to get ready physically?
00:47 Or how does that work?
00:49 >> I guess a little bit of that mental kind of getting your feet wet again,
00:53 getting your groove back.
00:54 Luckily, thankfully, it wasn't a long-term injury.
00:56 So I feel like I didn't really take any steps back than that aspect.
01:01 >> How much did it help for you to have the body kind of separating that injury
01:04 from now getting back out there?
01:06 >> Huge, when you talk about missing one game versus two, but
01:09 still getting three weeks of rest, it was huge.
01:12 >> How did the knee feel out there today?
01:14 >> It felt really, really good, amazing.
01:17 >> You sit there for a couple weeks and just watch the tough situation where you
01:23 were starting guy, and you just have to wait?
01:26 >> Yeah, I mean, like I said earlier, I just show up and I do what I'm asked,
01:29 that's it.
01:31 >> You expect to be able to go on Sunday?
01:33 >> Yes.
01:34 >> How beneficial, I mean, you talk about the bye be beneficial for you, but
01:38 to get Deontay, Pat, Anthony, yourself back on the field,
01:42 to get four major pieces for the offense back.
01:45 How big is that going to be for what you guys are going to be able to do,
01:47 kind of to go along with the adjustments you made from the bye week?
01:50 >> I mean, when you talk about getting the full healthy offensive group back,
01:53 I mean, that's huge.
01:54 And obviously, key pieces of our offense, Deontay, Pat, guys like Dan Mack,
01:59 who really play a big role, it's always good to have guys like that.
