00:00We hope to have the pro football doc with us in just a matter of moments to get you set for Super Bowl week in
00:06Super Bowl 59 practice reports from the teams as they got ready in their own home
00:12Destinations this past week and now they've made the trip out to New Orleans
00:17Of course Joe a lot of focus will be on Philadelphia Casey relatively healthy
00:21At least the guys that have been there for the last month month and a half two months or so
00:26Of course the Eagles quarterback in Jalen Hurts. How healthy is he going to be?
00:31What is the status of that left knee that he injured in the division around?
00:35Against the Rams the offensive line concerns Cam Juergens the center dealing with the back issues leading up to the NFC
00:42championship in Landon Dickerson
00:43The outstanding all-pro guard who had to fill in and start at the center spot for that NFC title game against the commanders
00:51Who injured his knee in the opening half that Joe seems to be the main concern in terms of the most
00:58significant players entering Super Bowl Sunday
01:01Yeah, and I'm sure the doc will tell us I mean at this point in the season band ain't nobody 100% anyway
01:09So it really is a matter of just okay, you know, what's this ceiling here?
01:15And I one of the things I'm interested in is how many of these guys are legit
01:21What's what's the reality of them playing a full game? How bad are these injuries and they are easily?
01:29Reaggravated and that's a concern as well, especially with the guys in the trenches
01:34Enough of our speculation. It's time for pro football doc. Dr. David Chow to join us here to get you ready for Super Bowl
01:4259 dr. Chow as always. Thank you for joining us on the first day of what is now officially Super Bowl week
01:49Yeah, I'm about to get on a plane and head to New Orleans
01:54Love it safe travels to you
01:56We look forward to hearing your work from the big easy and doc one of the great things about what you and your team do
02:02It's sports injury central and what you can see at SIC score calm
02:06That's six score calm is the individual six score for each and every player you hear it
02:11Normally in sports media coverage. Well, he's a little bit banged up. We hope he's 85
02:1790% you give that six score out of a hundred and as we get ready for Super Bowl 59
02:23What is the six score currently for the Eagles quarterback and Jalen Hurts?
02:29Well, Jalen Hurts obviously played pretty well, but his six score is still nowhere in the 90s
02:35I think he's in the high 80s at this point in time 87 in terms of his ability to
02:42Run-throw is not an issue. It's a left knee and you know, he ran the ball a bunch of times in the conference championship
02:49But he certainly was not 100% and his cutting motions, etc are still in question
02:57Well doc what about the guys blocking form and protecting him there Landon Dickerson camp
03:05Jurgens
03:06Which the back things seem to come out of nowhere. What do we do with the offensive linemen? How healthy are they right now?
03:15Well, that's one of the bigger issues for the Super Bowl typically by the time we get to the Super Bowl
03:20Sports injury central has been pretty hot in predicting the winning teams against the spread and we factor in injury
03:27So if the more injured teams are losing on the way through the playoffs and into the Super Bowl
03:33Obviously you end up with healthier teams a little bit of an anomaly this year with the Eagles and you're pointing out the offensive line
03:40Here cam Jurgens back. He did play in the second half and played. Well, he's got two weeks
03:46There's certainly some great healing powers of the Super Bowl, especially with the extra week
03:52Everyone wants to play but you're right. How effective is the question?
03:56But the bigger worry is Landon Dickerson. We studied all the film from the conference championship game
04:02Including the all 22 tape and it looks like he struggles with his knee
04:07Left knee from the get and it gets worse
04:10Later in the first quarter and into the second puts a brace on and then exits the game
04:15He's the biggest concern for the Eagles right now for their offensive line
04:20And obviously that would mean Tyler Skeen would have to play and it would force cam Jurgens
04:25Into action, even though he might not be a hundred percent on his back
04:30Ideally for the Eagles Jurgens gets the start at the center spot and Landon Dickerson shifts back to where he always is in that guard
04:39Position. Let's talk about one of the leaders of this Eagles franchise. Dr
04:43Chow who has been with the birds the entirety of his career now going on a decade and a half
04:48Brandon Graham who last played at the end of November torn triceps
04:52We thought he was probably out for the remainder of this season as you told us last week more than likely
04:58They were going to open up his practice window. No harm in doing so
05:02He still remains on injured reserve an emotional leader great to have him out there to get the Philadelphia Eagles ready for Super Bowl
05:1159 but dr. Chow, is there a realistic chance that Brandon Graham plays come Super Bowl Sunday?
05:18Well, I'm quite sure he'll be there on the sidelines, but playing it seems to be a stretch
05:23I think the only way that he plays is if they really have the extra roster room
05:30And he's a part-time usage look with the triceps, you know, he's functional in everyday life
05:35But can you really hold a 320 pound lineman or two off of you?
05:40You know
05:40Can you do that forceful of a push-up with someone on your back with the triceps and that's what he needs to do to hold
05:47Off blocks and he's got a high rate of rebrusher
05:50I get he won't care about that because if he needs surgery again, who cares this is likely his final game
05:55It's the Super Bowl, but it just seems unlikely that he could be effective given what he needs to do
06:03And what about say Kwan's, you know second in command there in Kenneth gain
06:08Well, will he be available and how effective?
06:12Well besides second-in-command
06:15Saquon with the calf issue everyone's seen him with the Theragun, etc
06:20He's obviously gonna play through and we hope it was just the score of the game where his utilization dipped in the second half
06:27But game Wells got a concussion
06:3095% of people with concussions clear by two weeks
06:33you have two weeks before the big game and I don't have a doubt that he will clear because
06:38Also, and I'm not saying he would do this and jeopardize his own health
06:42But a lot of testing for concussions is fairly subjective
06:46Nobody wants to miss the Super Bowl. So I would have to think he will be available
06:51Yes, we would think that he is really only injury designation for the Chiefs Sky more who is doubtful
06:58He last played in mid October. Dr. Chow
07:02We appreciate the time on this Monday safe travels to New Orleans and have a great week there on Radio Row
07:08Getting ready for the big game this upcoming Sunday
