00:03 I'm on Justin Fields.
00:21 As we stated before, he'll be out this week.
00:24 But he's improving.
00:25 And the mobility is getting better.
00:27 Swallowing's went down.
00:29 The grip strength is better.
00:31 So it's trending in the right direction.
00:33 But again, he'll be week to week.
00:34 And we'll know more on Monday.
00:36 We're not on that path right now.
00:38 So like I said, we're trending in the right direction.
00:40 But again, you can't make that declaration right now.
00:42 It's about to continue to see the improvement as it goes.
00:44 Oh, just improvement.
00:45 More improvement.
00:46 More mobility.
00:47 More swallowing going down.
00:49 And then see the grip strength is really where it is.
00:52 The functionality of it.
00:53 And if we see more of that, that's
00:54 obviously trending in the right direction.
00:56 That's where it's done this week.
00:58 So that's where it's looking good.
01:01 Yeah, his grip strength isn't there yet.
01:03 So we'll see where it is as we go.
01:05 I would just say that where the progress stops.
01:07 And you're just saying, OK, that's where it is.
01:09 So I just think that, again, that's
01:12 what they're telling me it is right now.
01:14 And that's all the information I have.
