1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:02,640 Speaker 1: Check in with doctor Dave Schneider from orth of Colorado, 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:05,600 Speaker 1: brought to by Ortho Colorado Hospital, part of Comma Spirit Health. 3 00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,920 Speaker 1: Go to Orthoclorado dot org. Doctor Schnider. Always great to 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:09,400 Speaker 1: catch up with you. 5 00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 2: How are you, sir, I'm doing amazing. How about those Broncos? 6 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,640 Speaker 2: How about those Broncos? Yeah? 7 00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, another another big win and yeah, not a lot 8 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,599 Speaker 1: of injuries coming out of the game. But what I 9 00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:25,160 Speaker 1: wanted to check in on was on Ben Powers because 10 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,880 Speaker 1: he left after week five with the biceps tear and 11 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:31,200 Speaker 1: we talked to you back then and asked, is it 12 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: really possible he could be available in December? Well, it's December, Doc, 13 00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:38,040 Speaker 1: so I want to check in. Do you think that's 14 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:40,000 Speaker 1: a possibility. We still see Ben Powers at. 15 00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 2: Some point, I do you know, if you go back 16 00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:45,920 Speaker 2: and look at the calendar, I think that's around October 17 00:00:46,280 --> 00:00:50,640 Speaker 2: eighth or so. And now we're twelve weeks out, and 18 00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: I really think his return is eminent, which would you know, 19 00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:57,360 Speaker 2: break all the records. But the way that we do 20 00:00:57,480 --> 00:01:00,800 Speaker 2: repairs on these type of tendon injuries has changed so 21 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:02,560 Speaker 2: dramatically it's actually possible. 22 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,520 Speaker 3: So we got Justin Herbert playing tonight. Against the Philadelphia Eagles. 23 00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:10,480 Speaker 3: And we know last week he had that surgery on 24 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,720 Speaker 3: his hand and is on his non thrown hand. How 25 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 3: is anything that could be a problem for him in 26 00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,240 Speaker 3: tonight's game, You. 27 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,959 Speaker 2: Know, Nick, It's interesting. Initially the report they kept saying 28 00:01:21,959 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 2: it was a broken bone in his hand, which, if 29 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,720 Speaker 2: you see, that's a ryth Peek surgeon. We're not thinking 30 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 2: about their fingers. We're thinking about the bones in the 31 00:01:29,760 --> 00:01:33,039 Speaker 2: either the wrist or those long bones in the back 32 00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:36,320 Speaker 2: of your hand, the meta carpal bones. But then later 33 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 2: they talked about he had that press conference and he 34 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:41,360 Speaker 2: kept his hands in his hoodie pocket so you couldn't 35 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: see where the splint was. So now I don't know. 36 00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 2: I don't know if it was a finger on his 37 00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:48,960 Speaker 2: left hand or one of the meta carpal bones in 38 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:52,320 Speaker 2: his left hand. We've all seen quarterbacks come back after 39 00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 2: surgery on one of the bones in their hands, sometimes 40 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 2: play well, sometimes play awful. I'm thinking the fact that 41 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 2: he was throwing in practice. There's some video of him 42 00:02:00,280 --> 00:02:03,200 Speaker 2: throwing in practice just a couple of days from surgery. 43 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,840 Speaker 2: I'm thinking he's good to go. If I was one 44 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:10,120 Speaker 2: of those fantasy football guys, I gotta say, I'd put 45 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 2: my money on Herbert to throw and to play well. 46 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:17,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, apparently there's like a plate in screws in his hand. 47 00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:17,639 Speaker 2: Yeah. 48 00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: Actively tonight I was like, man again, football players are tough, 49 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: but that that seems kind of ridiculous, especially when you 50 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,760 Speaker 1: have defensive players like Nick Ferguson coming after you all 51 00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,440 Speaker 1: night trying to hit that hand. 52 00:02:29,919 --> 00:02:33,799 Speaker 2: Yeah, if it's your pinky bone, even your pinky metacarpal bone, 53 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 2: the so called border bone, there's a lot of stress 54 00:02:36,960 --> 00:02:39,400 Speaker 2: on there, and that's concerning. But if it's like at 55 00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 2: the base of your middle or your ring finger, you 56 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,960 Speaker 2: can stabilize that and get a good little hand splint 57 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,639 Speaker 2: on there. I don't know. My gut tells me, A 58 00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,680 Speaker 2: little bit of science tells me. I think he's going 59 00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: to be good to go. 60 00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:53,840 Speaker 3: Well, dog, we've seen a couple of players this past 61 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:59,679 Speaker 3: weekend suffer aco injuries. How difficult are those types of 62 00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:03,120 Speaker 3: ines to bounce back from? 63 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 2: Now, the weird thing is, as the season progresses, a 64 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:12,120 Speaker 2: Daniel Jones kind of character where he's dealing with an 65 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 2: injury to the contralateral leg, and now, as quarterbacks tend 66 00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,920 Speaker 2: to do tear the achilles on their plant leg, you know, 67 00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:24,440 Speaker 2: right handed thrower, right leg where you push off and 68 00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,120 Speaker 2: especially if a bone is compromised, and we see that 69 00:03:27,160 --> 00:03:30,079 Speaker 2: in the same thing. As the season drags on, you 70 00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 2: can have a little strain to your ACL and then 71 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 2: you tear your ACL. And typically the guy who tears 72 00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,200 Speaker 2: the ACL late in the season won't say, my knees 73 00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,240 Speaker 2: kind of been mugging me. It's swelling. It's a little 74 00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:46,920 Speaker 2: concerning seeing Mahomes having to ice or heat his left 75 00:03:47,080 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: knee there on the sidelines in the second half. He's like, man, 76 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,720 Speaker 2: he's a little bit of a sitting duck for having 77 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,840 Speaker 2: an injury himself. 78 00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:55,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt about it. Yeah, I was gonna ask 79 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 1: you last one here for on Daniel Jones. So you 80 00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:02,200 Speaker 1: do believe that was that the fractured fibula was contributing, 81 00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: ultimately contributed to that achilles tear for him. 82 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 2: I would think so, because it's throwing mechanics would be 83 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:09,400 Speaker 2: off even just the way if you look at the 84 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:13,880 Speaker 2: replay of that play where he looked a little odd 85 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 2: moving and trying to set. Obviously he's on under a 86 00:04:16,560 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: ton of heat from a guy like Nick trying to 87 00:04:19,160 --> 00:04:22,440 Speaker 2: kill him. And you know, as he's trying to plant 88 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:26,240 Speaker 2: and throw and twist, just puts extra stress on that achilles. 89 00:04:26,279 --> 00:04:27,920 Speaker 2: And we see it all the time where someone has 90 00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,840 Speaker 2: a nagging hamstring injury on one side and ended up 91 00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,280 Speaker 2: rolling their ankorle or tearing their assail on the other side. 92 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:37,000 Speaker 1: Doc, always great. We will check in with you next week. 93 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 2: Really appreciate it all right, thanks to Go Broncos. 94 00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 1: Go Broncos.
