00:02 - Rounds and Colts game at Lucas Oil and Indy.
00:07 - Yeah, so Deshaun Watson right now,
00:09 he took almost all the first team reps in Friday's practice.
00:14 That typically is an indication
00:16 that he'll be a starter on Sunday,
00:18 though they listen is questionable.
00:19 Now here's why they're listening is questionable.
00:21 This is a situation where the shoulder has got soreness.
00:26 It's residual soreness.
00:28 They wanna see how he responds tomorrow.
00:30 He's gotta get through tomorrow's walkthrough.
00:32 If he does, he should be able to start on Sunday
00:34 at the Colts.
00:35 If he has any issues, it's gonna be PJ Walker again.
00:38 Walker, hey, you could say what you want.
00:40 They found a way to win last week
00:41 against the great 49ers.
00:43 That was pretty impressive.
00:44 And by the way, in week eight,
00:46 they're gonna host the improved Seahawks in Cleveland.
00:49 And this is a big game for them.
00:51 And not only for them, but for the Colts here,
00:53 because look, the Colts are a team, Pharrell,
00:56 without their starting quarterback
00:57 for the rest of the season, Richardson.
00:59 And Gardner Minshew's on a one-year deal.
01:01 He believes, talking to people close to him,
01:03 that he could be a starter in the future.
01:05 And he wants to do well here, get good tape together.
01:09 They're hanging in there in the AFC South.
01:12 And by the way, they're also hanging in there
01:14 for a wildcard spot.
01:15 It's a big game for Gardner Minshew.
01:17 But the bottom line is here, the Browns come in,
01:20 they know what they gotta do.
01:21 Their defense is phenomenal.
01:23 That's secondary in football right now.
01:24 It's a very stingy defense.
01:26 But the big thing is getting Watson on track here.
01:29 Let's see how he does tomorrow,
01:30 and then we'll see what happens on Sunday.
01:31 So right now, it's looking positive for Sunday,
01:34 but he's gotta get through the next 24 hours.
