1 00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,680 Speaker 1: To head out to the highline and bring on Doctor 2 00:00:01,720 --> 00:00:04,080 Speaker 1: Dave Schneider. Brought to you by orth of Colorado Hospital, 3 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:07,600 Speaker 1: part of Common Spirit Health. Go to Orthoclorado dot org. 4 00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:10,680 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy New Year, Doc Schneider, how are you, sir? 5 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,120 Speaker 2: I'm doing great. Merk Christmas to you, gentlemen. 6 00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:19,600 Speaker 3: So, Doc, some injuries to talk about yesterday with with 7 00:00:19,680 --> 00:00:23,599 Speaker 3: the Broncos, and I want to start with with Drake 8 00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 3: Greenlaw's hamstring injury. This is a guy that has had 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,760 Speaker 3: some issues in the past, some soft tissue issues, and 10 00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:35,519 Speaker 3: the way he pulled up certainly was problematic. But when 11 00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 3: you normally speaking just talk about in general hamstring injuries, 12 00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:44,560 Speaker 3: the different grades of hamstring injuries, and with NFL people 13 00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:45,640 Speaker 3: what that might mean. 14 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 2: I'm with you, Dave, with your earlier comments the way 15 00:00:51,440 --> 00:00:54,560 Speaker 2: he pulled up, and yes, given his history of a 16 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 2: couple of years ago achilles tendon injury, him battling at 17 00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:02,280 Speaker 2: quadriceps tendon injury earlier this season. Now you know, normally 18 00:01:02,320 --> 00:01:05,279 Speaker 2: when someone is a hamstring injury and they're that type 19 00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:09,920 Speaker 2: of backer, receiver, cornerback guy, usually that kind of injury 20 00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: is within the muscle belly of bleeding but in his 21 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 2: case where you don't have the kind of flexibility you'd want, 22 00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:21,000 Speaker 2: and he's a little snake bit with tendon injury. Man 23 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 2: this point of the season, not good news. 24 00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:27,000 Speaker 1: Doesn't feel like it, so we'll obviously monitor that did 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 1: not get a practice in today. In the estimated practice 26 00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,160 Speaker 1: report yesterday, we did get to see some good news 27 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,280 Speaker 1: as Ben Powers was back out on the field. He 28 00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: got twenty three snaps. Palchewski played forty three there at 29 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,480 Speaker 1: left guard. Did you get a chance to watch him 30 00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:44,360 Speaker 1: specifically or is this part of the ramp up period 31 00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:45,399 Speaker 1: in your opinion. 32 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly according to Plan, I consider that nothing short 33 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,280 Speaker 2: of kind of a modern miracle. There's no way in 34 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:55,960 Speaker 2: the old NFL that a guy would come back after 35 00:01:56,080 --> 00:02:02,040 Speaker 2: discal biceps surgery just nine weeks later. That's careful medical staff. 36 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 2: Kudos to doctor kree Meyer for being able to get 37 00:02:05,720 --> 00:02:08,200 Speaker 2: him back, get him in a special grace, and get 38 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 2: him to play while protecting it knowing that we need 39 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 2: him for the long haul over the next couple of months. 40 00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:17,080 Speaker 3: You know, I know, and we've had a lot of 41 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,160 Speaker 3: textures talking about the big hit on Pat Bryant, and 42 00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 3: the rules have changed in terms of sort of how 43 00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:29,160 Speaker 3: that type collision is treated, which I think is much better, 44 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,840 Speaker 3: you know, much better for the athlete. But typically speaking, 45 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 3: when when you have to be stretchered and carted off 46 00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 3: the field, I mean, what are two or three things 47 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,919 Speaker 3: that you're ultimately very concerned about. 48 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:47,840 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know for beginners, and you're right, you 49 00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:50,200 Speaker 2: look at it super super solow motion. I mean, that 50 00:02:50,320 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 2: was within the rules. He lit up Bryant obviously, just 51 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,840 Speaker 2: the way his head really snapped back and forth. When 52 00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:00,800 Speaker 2: you're the sideline doc and you're looking at that first 53 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:02,400 Speaker 2: thing you check, you want to make sure the guy's 54 00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 2: actually breathing. You can get with knocked out with such 55 00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: a high concussion that you're actually not even breathing. And 56 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: we've seen this a few times over the years in 57 00:03:11,919 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 2: the league, where you're doing with an amboo bag or 58 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: in the old day's mouth the mouth with a resuscitation. 59 00:03:18,320 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 2: Just make sure I'm sure someone's actually breathing. Then you 60 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,919 Speaker 2: make sure that our heart's beating. Is like, okay, this 61 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,720 Speaker 2: is probably just a high grade concussion and or spinal 62 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: cord injury. And that's why the first person on the 63 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,799 Speaker 2: field did what he was supposed to grab the guy 64 00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:36,800 Speaker 2: by the helmet, make sure that pab Bran was lying 65 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: flat on his back. You have to keep the helmet 66 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 2: on to keep the spinal cord aligned, just to make 67 00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:44,880 Speaker 2: sure it's not a spinal cord injury. And the first 68 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:46,880 Speaker 2: thing that you and all of us saw that was 69 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,440 Speaker 2: good is that Brian was immediately moving his arms and 70 00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 2: legs around so much less likely that instantly we knew 71 00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:58,200 Speaker 2: this is probably just a very high grade concussion. They'll 72 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 2: enter the concussion protocol. There's no he's going to be 73 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 2: playing Thursday, but I think he'll have a nice full 74 00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,120 Speaker 2: return for the week after that. 75 00:04:06,880 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: Very good news, incredibly good news. Sounds very scary. The 76 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 1: last one I have for you, and I imagine the 77 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:14,560 Speaker 1: answer hasn't changed since last week when we asked you, 78 00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:17,080 Speaker 1: but a lot of Broncos fans asking me about Brandon 79 00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Jones last night, and of course last week when we 80 00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: had John, you more or less told us what was 81 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: going to happen, that he was going to be put 82 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: on IR and it's going to be that peck injury. 83 00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: Is there any chance that he has an ability to 84 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 1: come back during the postseason. 85 00:04:31,040 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 2: I don't think so. I don't think it's going to 86 00:04:33,120 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: be like a pass to ten issue, where as a 87 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:40,119 Speaker 2: partial injury. We still have not heard any that type 88 00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:42,520 Speaker 2: of hinting news that is just a partial injury and 89 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,680 Speaker 2: we expect him back. It's kind of the opposite. So 90 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 2: unless we hear something different for me, I think Jones 91 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:50,320 Speaker 2: is out for the season. 92 00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:53,159 Speaker 1: All right, Doc, I always appreciate it. Again, have a 93 00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,200 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas and we will check in with you next week. 94 00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:58,800 Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Thank you doctor and I doctor Schneider for 95 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,719 Speaker 1: North of Colorado.
