Speaker 1: won't play after injuring his ankles Sunday Yesterday's head coach

8
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,400
Speaker 1: Kyle Shanahan saying the quarterback will likely miss at least

9
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: four to six weeks, but surgery is still a possibility.

10
00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:36,920
Speaker 1: For All Pro tight end George Kittle, who broke a

11
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:40,120
Speaker 1: bone in his foot during Sunday's game, he's expected to

12
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 1: miss at least eight weeks. The Packers, meanwhile, won't be

13
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,159
Speaker 1: at full strength in their backfield because running back A J.

14
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,880
Speaker 1: Dillon is being placed on the reserve COVID list along

15
00:00:51,880 --> 00:00:55,280
Speaker 1: with fellow running back Jamal Williams. This could leave Green

16
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 1: Bay extremely thin in the backfield. According to NFL Networks

17
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,760
Speaker 1: I in Rappaport, there is pessimism that Aaron Jones, who

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,280
Speaker 1: is dealing with a calf injury, will be back on

19
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: the short week, the current plans seems to be going

20
00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,600
Speaker 1: with Tyler Irvin and Dexter Williams. Irvin has ten career

21
00:01:13,720 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: carries and Williams has just five on the season. The Cowboys,

22
00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,680
Speaker 1: coming off a disappointing loss at the Eagles, return home

23
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: to face Pennsylvania's other team, the NFL's last undefeated squad,

24
00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 1: the seven and oh Steelers. These are the two winningest

25
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: teams in the Super Bowl Era by win percentage. The

26
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,080
Speaker 1: Cowboys are first and the Steelers second, both at a

27
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 1: winning rate above five ninety two. As for who's going

28
00:01:41,920 --> 00:01:45,240
Speaker 1: to win this game, Dallas fans want to know who's

29
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 1: start a quarterback for the Boys. The team plans to

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 1: give Garrett Gilbert's and coopert rush reps in practice and

31
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 1: pick one of them a week's end determine who'll start

32
00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 1: at quarterback. According to Tom Pellisero and Ian rap Porp,

33
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,040
Speaker 1: it won't be rookie Ben de Nucci. Owner Jerry Jones

34
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: was asked if the pressure of d Nucci making his

35
00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 1: first start on the road last week against the division

36
00:02:09,200 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: rival was too much for the rookie signal caller. Well,

37
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:16,840
Speaker 1: I think that it was a lot for it. I

38
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:25,000
Speaker 1: think we certainly as a team paid the price to

39
00:02:25,919 --> 00:02:31,520
Speaker 1: have him come in and under those circumstances. On Tuesday,

40
00:02:31,560 --> 00:02:34,639
Speaker 1: we learned Andy Dalton was already in the league's concussion

41
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 1: protocol was added to the reserve COVID list as well,

42
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: meaning he'll miss the game. Pro Bowl corner Marlon Humphrey

43
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: meanwhile testing positive for COVID nineteen. After the Ravens lost Sunday,

44
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,480
Speaker 1: Baltimore did contact tracing and had to add several players,

45
00:02:51,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: including starting linebackers Matthew Judon and Patrick Queen, to the

46
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: reserve COVID list. The players will all be isolated, but

47
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: if they asked multiple COVID tests, they could be activated

48
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: in time to play Sunday against the Colts. COVID also

49
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:10,639
Speaker 1: hitting the front office, as the Broncos announcing both GM

50
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 1: John Elway and CEO Joe Ellis tested positive. The team

51
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: believes both men had minimal interaction with players the last

52
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 1: few days. To keep those COVID numbers down, the NFL

53
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:25,440
Speaker 1: sent out a league wide memo asking players to wear

54
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,240
Speaker 1: mess while on the sidelines and when interacting with the

55
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:33,520
Speaker 1: other team after a game. Elsewhere, the Titans are releasing

56
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: a couple of defensive veterans. They cut corner Jonathan Joseph

57
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: Tuesday and a total linebacker, Big Beasley, he'll be released today.

58
00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: At one point in the offseason, Beasley was seen as

59
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: a valued edition when Tennessee signed him to a one

60
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,880
Speaker 1: year deal. The twenty eight year old former eighth overall

61
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,600
Speaker 1: pick played in five games for the Titans with no

62
00:03:53,800 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: starts and three tackles, and it was a quiet NFL

63
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:02,000
Speaker 1: trading deadline Tuesday and sent receiver Isaiah Four to the

64
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Patriots for a late round twenty twenty two pick and

65
00:04:05,760 --> 00:04:09,240
Speaker 1: acquire running back DeAndre Washington from the Chiefs for a

66
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,200
Speaker 1: twenty twenty one sixth rounder. We'll find out who to
