00:10 Justin Fields is still in a limited practice.
00:22 So I know we're walking through, but it's good to get him out here last week.
00:26 And we'll see where it is.
00:30 So we're literally see where it is today and then see where it goes from there and
00:33 we'll know more on Wednesday in terms of how that progress.
00:36 Like I said, it's literally, I know it's a shortened down time frame, but
00:40 again, it's day to day.
00:41 So we'll just decide, we'll look at it today,
00:43 look how he's doing today's functionality and see where it is.
00:46 Injury guys come off injury always comes down to the medical staff clearing them,
00:50 how the player feels he can function in the game.
00:52 And then the coaches looking at it and say, hey, yes,
00:55 he could function at a high level and get the job done.
00:57 So it's always those three factors.
00:59 Well, I would just say that Beijing has done well.
01:01 He's done well, obviously really played really well through three quarters and
01:05 we're excited where he is.
01:07 I think he had 271 yards through three quarters in terms of passing and running.
01:12 So we feel good where he is.
01:15 But if Justin is there and is available and functional, we'll go with him.
01:21 So we'll see where it is.
