00:00Everybody knows how popular Dr. Chivago is on coast to coast. There he is, Dr. David
00:05Chow from the number one site in the world, Sports Injury Central, giving you all the
00:11skinny you need to know about who is not going to be in games and standing on the sidelines
00:16on Sunday pain day in the NFL and Sunday night and Monday night, doubleheader, Dr. David
00:22Chow. And you can follow him at ProFootballDoc on X. He's very, as I said, very popular.
00:27He's in San Diego. He's got it all figured out. He lives in So Cali Cal down the street
00:32from my son, who also does not call home based on the fact that they are living large in
00:38the sun in So Cali Cal and they don't care about anything else or anyone else or how
00:44we're living or the conditions we're in or cat five hurricanes that are happening like
00:49Hurricane Varela in the southeast tonight because he's just got it too nice out in Cali
00:54Cal. Here we go. Dr. Chow, Jordan Love practicing all week limited. We'll hear what you're talking
01:00about. Willis go for the Packers under center at Lambeau against the undefeated Vikings.
01:06Well, you know, before you get to that, you're the one who's big time. I got off the phone
01:12with a friend of mine from high school days and I forgot about a radio interview. I was
01:16doing it. Sorry. Sorry. I got to take this call and I get on. He goes, Oh, what was that?
01:21He goes, Do you ever go on Pharrell? Where is that guy? I'm like, he's my guy all the time.
01:26Also, I had all this street cred. Didn't matter what else I did in life. Didn't matter what
01:30Sports Industry Central, Sirius XM is like, oh, Pharrell. Oh, he's the man. You got me
01:36a lot of street credits. It's like when my kids discovered that Sports Industry Central
01:41had a tick tock account. All of a sudden I had all the street crowds. So you're bigger
01:45than tick tock, Pharrell. I mean, Scott, I mean, it's awesome. Huge. No one calls me
01:50Scott, so you can just stick with Pharrell. But I will say this. That is awesome. I love
01:55when fans through the years have followed the show from their childhood till adulthood
02:01to fatherhood to old age. I have grandpas through fifth graders that have listened to
02:08me through the years and the whole family chain listens. And that has been cool for
02:13me that the show stood the test of time. So who starts for the Packers?
02:18Look, we've been saying for weeks, week four against the Vikings is the target for Jordan
02:24Love and the Packers. I think that happens this week. He's moving a lot better in practice.
02:29He'll have a lead leg brace on. And for those fans out there that say, why change now? Malik
02:34Willis is 2-0. Come on. There's two games of game film on him. Jordan Love is the guy.
02:40I think he starts clearly this week against the Vikings. The Niners offense has been all
02:45banged up for the last few weeks. Who's going to be available for Brock Purdy? And he's
02:51had issues, too, with his back. Yeah, Brock Purdy will play through. It does look like
02:57he will have George Kittle, but it might be more in a blocking capacity than as really
03:05a pass catcher with his hamstring. Debo is likely to miss, but the big loss of the 49ers
03:11and they've had their injuries and there's all the CMC talk this week. By the way, he's
03:15going to Germany means that he's probably not coming back till November because the
03:20shot that he would get there takes four to six weeks. But Hargrave on the D line is lost
03:26for the 49ers. Wow. So you're telling me that if he if it's true, he goes to Germany and
03:32he gets this work done there. He has to stay there for a month. No, no, no. He's already
03:38back. It's just the relative rest and the recovery. The healing time from the injection
03:45puts it well beyond the four week IR. Look, there's no question he went there for this
03:50treatment. I mean, he didn't go for Oktoberfest. Right. And, you know, it's in September.
03:57Right. I mean, I know you are a world traveler, well-traveled guy that you are. But and it's
04:02not just a consultation, as some media said. You can do that by Zoom if you're consulting
04:07with a guy. It was an injection, a growth factor type treatment that was pioneered in
04:13Germany, legal in a lot of countries, but not legal in the United States. And that's
04:17why he flew there to get that. And that means that his likely return is November, not even
04:23October at this point in time.
04:25So I just want you to know that when I was there, I drank, I drank beers that were literally
04:30the length of my body from head to toe, like one beer at a time from head to toe. That
04:36place is the greatest beer drinking epicenter in the world. I went to see Orange Sherbert
04:41play last week in Pittsburgh and he injured that ankle again. Someone stepped on his foot.
04:46You guys have him at an 81 in SIC. Where's he at going into this game at home in SoFi
04:53on Sunday?
04:55Well, I think he's able to play. I don't think he's injured any worse. But the question is,
05:00will there be a change based on coaching decision? Here's why. The Chargers have a bye next week.
05:07You know, if he's limping halfway through again, maybe it's smarter to get him healthy.
05:11And remember, no right tackle, no left tackle. Unprecedented. The Chargers could miss five
05:17first round draft picks this week. If Herbert's out, both tackles right and left are first
05:23rounders. The Derwin James has been suspended and Joey Bosa is iffy with his hip and back.
05:29That's five star first rounders that might miss for the Chargers this week. Unprecedented.
05:35Well, then they're screwed. Skylar Thompson banged up. Who's going to be the Dolphins
05:40quarterback Sunday?
05:42I believe strongly. We said it since Monday. Snoop Huntley. Here's why. We know it's not
05:47Tua. Could Skylar Thompson play with his ribs? Yes, with an injection of rib block. But let's
05:52be serious. Are you really starting Skylar Thompson after a bad outing? No practice all
05:59week. Shoot him up and play? I don't think so. Are you going to go to Tim Boyle then?
06:03I'm not so sure. Snoop Huntley with a little redesigned offense is probably the guy that
06:09we're saying is going to be the starter because of Skylar Thompson's rib issues. Yeah, I think
06:14he's going to take over that team. Sam Darnold, is he okay? Sam Darnold's fine. The Vikings
06:20are fine. They're getting some players back. So it's nice to see Darnold against Love.
06:24That'll be a great matchup. Miles Garrett, how's he and what about the rest of the Browns?
06:31Well, the Browns old line, you know, both tackles are already ruled out for this week. They
06:35lost their pro bowl right guard. There's a lot of issues there. But then again, the Raiders
06:40Max Crosby now not playing and Devante Adams not playing. So there's a lot of injuries
06:45on both sides of the ball in Las Vegas this weekend. Real quick. You've seen everything
06:51in sports. What did you see when you saw Freddie Freeman go down last night with that ankle
06:55roll? Invergent ankle sprain. The good news is, you know, the Dodgers have already clinched
07:02first place. They've clinched the first round by he's going to miss the rest of the regular
07:07season, the final three games, but he'll be back. He should be back after the mini by
07:12since the Dodgers got. Yeah, I look forward to them losing in the second round.
