Speaker 2: Tell me why because it's thanks boys.
Speaker 3: Tell me what I've washed it so many times with the.
Speaker 1: Oder will come out?
Speaker 4: Tell me why?
Speaker 5: No?

Speaker 5: Have you tried down he rincon refresh It doesn't just
Speaker 5: come up, hold it.
Speaker 1: Helps remove them. Wow it worked, guys.
Speaker 6: Yeah, Downy Rinson Refreshed removes more odor in one wash
Speaker 6: than the leading value detergent in three washes.

Speaker 6: Good evening and welcome to Vikings Rewind on Kfan and
Speaker 6: the Minnesota Vikings Radio Network. Vikings Rewind is presented by
Speaker 6: Omni Viking Lakes and you can book your stay today.
Speaker 6: Just go to omnihotels dot com slash Viking Lakes. I'm
Speaker 6: Nordo from nine to noon. How you doing recapping yesterday's
Speaker 6: Vikings game? And it is four in a row for
Speaker 6: Kevin O'Connell and the Minnesota Vikings. They beat the Atlanta
Speaker 6: Falcons yesterday thirty one to twenty eight. They now improve
Speaker 6: to five and four through nine games. And this is
Speaker 6: the first time that they've had a winning.
Speaker 1: Record in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 6: So from all those fumbles and weird losses starting out
Speaker 6: oh and three, they go four and one through October,
Speaker 6: and they find their way to victory on the road
Speaker 6: in Atlanta yesterday. And it was a game that started
Speaker 6: with a fifth round rookie and Jaren Hall under center
Speaker 6: for the Vikings, and it ended within a recently acquired
Speaker 6: quarterback in Joshua Dobbs, who barely knew anybody's name, didn't
Speaker 6: know most of the plays, and he found his way
Speaker 6: to victory, found this team's way to victory. It's unbelievable
Speaker 6: some of the things. It's nothing if not always entertaining
Speaker 6: for a team very much in the NFC playoff race,
Speaker 6: a wild card team. The Vikings currently are at five
Speaker 6: and four. Next up the New Orleans Saints. Some injury
Speaker 6: concerns and things that took place yesterday. I'm going to
Speaker 6: play back on the other side of this next segment
Speaker 6: a nice portion of Kevin O'Connell's press conference with the
Speaker 6: media from earlier this afternoon, highlighting and getting some updates
Speaker 6: and some of the players that were.
Speaker 1: Nicked up yesterday.
Speaker 6: Hey, Justin Jefferson's able to come off ir and maybe
Speaker 6: start practicing and playing again, even as soon as this
Speaker 6: weekend against the Saints.
Speaker 1: Is that gonna happen.
Speaker 6: You're gonna hear some updates in some conversation and clarity
Speaker 6: there from the head coach. But first, in what is
Speaker 6: just yet another weird one the Minnesota Vikings and the
Speaker 6: Atlanta Falcons yesterday, let's rewind to the action. The Minnesota
Speaker 6: Vikings defense gets to start yesterday as they get on
Speaker 6: the field and they force a seven play twenty two
Speaker 6: yard drive that ends in a punt. So we like
Speaker 6: the way that started. And then it's time for Jaren Hall.
Speaker 6: Jaren Hall comes in tough spot for him last week
Speaker 6: against Green Bay after the unfortunate achilles injury to Kirk.
Speaker 1: He gets a couple of series.
Speaker 6: There's a stripsack in the mix, cool third down conversion
Speaker 6: on his next possession to TJ. Hawkinson. So you didn't
Speaker 6: like some things. You liked some things, but now he's
Speaker 6: had an entire week to start well. Vikings offense goes
Speaker 6: three and out. Falcons would respond a five play thirty
Speaker 6: four yard drive. Nice long connection from Taylor Heineke, the
Speaker 6: former Viking. There were all sorts of connections and backup
Speaker 6: qbs in the mix yesterday. Former Viking never took a
Speaker 6: snap in a game, but certainly a member of the
Speaker 6: team for a couple of seasons twenty fifteen and twenty sixteen.
Speaker 6: Taylor Heineke hits Cadaril Hodge and they settle for a
Speaker 6: young Way coup fifty plus yard field goal. Fifty two
Speaker 6: yarder that makes it three to nothing halfway through the
Speaker 6: first quarter. Now second possession, Jaren Hall still under center.
Speaker 6: It's nine plays, It's seventy four yards.
Speaker 1: And a couple of nice connections too.
Speaker 6: Johnny Munt with a catch and run and Alexander Madison
Speaker 6: for nearly fifty.
Speaker 5: Jaron Hall with an empty backfield, four man rush. He's
Speaker 5: gonna fade one right.
Speaker 7: Cott took a thirty five thirty Hangles took.
Speaker 5: The left and is taken down inside the twenty. Alex
Speaker 5: Sander Madison with a long catching run forty nine yards
Speaker 5: first down for the Vikings.
Speaker 6: Vikings offenses movie and Jaren Hall is orchonstrating all of it.
Speaker 1: Later in the drive, they get a first and goal
Speaker 1: at the one.
Speaker 6: Then they move backwards, still having trouble running the ball
Speaker 6: inside the five.
Speaker 1: The Vikings offenses and it's third down.
Speaker 6: Jaron Hall is trying to close the deal with his legs,
Speaker 6: and for the second time in two games, tragedy strikes
Speaker 6: the quarterback position.
Speaker 5: Hall shot downe three receivers left to right, takes the
Speaker 5: snap four man rush.
Speaker 1: Hall steps up looking to run.
Speaker 7: Paddle to the metal leap through the end zone, and
Speaker 7: he came up short.
Speaker 1: He got smacked at the goal line.
Speaker 5: Jaren Hall slow to get up, and many members of
Speaker 5: the Vikings training staff have come out on the field
Speaker 5: to chat with the back, with the quarterback who used
Speaker 5: to be the backup but now he's the start.
Speaker 1: I was so excited for better or worse. It could
Speaker 1: be great, it could be awful.
Speaker 6: I was excited to see Jaron Hall take the reins
Speaker 6: of this offense with a full week of preparation and
Speaker 6: see what the kid has.
Speaker 1: But he suffers a.
Speaker 6: Concussion on his second series yesterday and he's forced out
Speaker 6: of the mix from that play, and the Vikings are
Speaker 6: then forced to settle for a field goal from the
Speaker 6: one yard line because they're still trying to scramble and like, hey,
Speaker 6: Joshua Dobbs, we did not intend on you playing today.
Speaker 6: Now we got to get you ready to handle the offense.
Speaker 6: It's three to three with about two minutes left in
Speaker 6: the first quarter. Vikings defense does their job. They force
Speaker 6: a punt from the Falcons, and now we're seeing Joshua
Speaker 6: Dobbs plays all those games for the Cardinals earlier this year.
Speaker 6: Career backup is Joshua Dobbs, brought to the Vikings via
Speaker 6: trade on Tuesday, and as I mentioned earlier, jokingly but
Speaker 6: kind of seriously, he doesn't know everybody's name. He hasn't
Speaker 6: taken snaps from Garrett Bradbury yet cadence in terms of
Speaker 6: calling the plays at the line, getting everything organized.
Speaker 1: This is all new.
Speaker 6: This is all on the fly, and it started off
Speaker 6: a little bumpy.
Speaker 5: Third and twelve from his own five and a tie game,
Speaker 5: Dobbs takes the staff he's looking out to the left
Speaker 5: from the end zone, steps up added to safety. The
Speaker 5: Falcons have trapped josh Dobbs in the end zone for
Speaker 5: a safety and have taken The Braves have taken a
Speaker 5: five to three lead over the Plans.
Speaker 6: Yes weird score five to three Falcons early second quarter,
Speaker 6: and the safety means now the Vikings have to actually
Speaker 6: punt the ball back to the Falcons. So the Falcons
Speaker 6: go on offense. They have a ten play drive cam
Speaker 6: Binde them nearly had a pick on this drive by
Speaker 6: the way, couldn't close on it. Taylor, Heineke's gonna give
Speaker 6: you one or two balls every single game, and you
Speaker 6: need to take those.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 6: We did later but early on an opportunity to keep
Speaker 6: points off the board. Falcons go up eight to three
Speaker 6: after another young Way cool field goal about midway through
Speaker 6: the second. Now, second opportunity for Josh Dobbs and this
Speaker 6: Vikings offense. You heard bumpy before and it only got
Speaker 6: rockier this time.
Speaker 1: Dobbs under deep trump protected.
Speaker 5: Okay, Now he scoots away from the pressure and he
Speaker 5: looks to throw the wall and it came out and
Speaker 5: it's picked up by Lorenzo Carter inside the ten to
Speaker 5: the five, stopped at the three yard line. So the
Speaker 5: Vikings have lost another fumble. The Vikings now have lost
Speaker 5: eleven pumpholes this year.
Speaker 1: The defense down yeah.
Speaker 6: Fumbles have been a problem for Josh Dobbs half the
Speaker 6: season with the Arizona Cardinals. Earlier this year, he had
Speaker 6: eight lost fumbles, and in just his second possession in
Speaker 6: Purple he's got one under his belt. Now for us.
Speaker 6: So Falcons take over. It's first and goal at the
Speaker 6: one yard line and they have some self destruction to
Speaker 6: them Atlanta does they immediately get a false start? It's
Speaker 6: Chris Lnstrom. Now they're backed up to the six yard line.
Speaker 6: And props to the defense yesterday keeping the Falcons to
Speaker 6: field goals instead of touchdowns. You see the final score
Speaker 6: line thirty one to twenty eight, high scoring game, but
Speaker 6: the defense stood talk in a few spots, including this one.
Speaker 6: They keep the Falcons to a young way who field
Speaker 6: goal inside the five and it's eleven to three late
Speaker 6: stages of the first half. Now Vikings ball, they're taken over.
Speaker 6: They need they just a one score game, believe it
Speaker 6: or not. As weird does this thing's already been. They
Speaker 6: go on a thirteen play seventy five yard drive to
Speaker 6: close the gap, and it doesn't happen without our new
Speaker 6: QB Joshua Dobbs making plays like this.
Speaker 5: This is third and ten from the Falcons thirteen, trailing
Speaker 5: by eight deep on the first half, left by josh Dobbs,
Speaker 5: who takes the pratt Berry snap.
Speaker 1: Here's a big blitz and Dodds is able to get
Speaker 1: away from the Blitzer prints out right. Now he gets
Speaker 1: to the twenty to the fifteen to the.
Speaker 7: Ten ef fluid buck by cam Akers and Dops is
Speaker 7: inside the five. Wow done cam Akers, I mean, I
Speaker 7: know it's dob doing all the running and the elusive
Speaker 7: nature of the quarterback first down leads to an eleven
Speaker 7: yard first down run. How about cam Akers with the assist?
Speaker 6: It was a great block by cam Akers, who sadly
Speaker 6: would leave the game later on with a devastating season
Speaker 6: ending achilles injury. But he was in the game there
Speaker 6: making plays and Alexander Madison catches a touchdown pass.
Speaker 5: Christian Jackson in motion to the right. kJ Osborne out
Speaker 5: of the game. Dobbs under center, trailing eleven three play action,
Speaker 5: boots out to the right. He's looking for Madison, pep
Speaker 5: pell Madison touchdown.
Speaker 1: Leander.
Speaker 6: That touchdown comes with less than a minute to go
Speaker 6: in the half and after the extra point, a lot
Speaker 6: of people wishing they would have went for two, but
Speaker 6: the extra point makes it eleven to ten in favor
Speaker 6: of the Falcons at halftime. Vikings excited, Vikings fans excited.
Speaker 6: I know, I'm sure the coaching staff was in the
Speaker 6: locker room trying to continue to give that crash course
Speaker 6: to Joshua Dobbs on the offense.
Speaker 1: Vikings fans are like, all this stuff is happening.
Speaker 6: We got injuries. kJ Osborne leaves with a concussion as well.
Speaker 6: I mentioned Cam Akers who would leave earlier with an
Speaker 6: even more significant injury.
Speaker 1: His team is hurting, and somehow they are very.
Speaker 6: Much still in the mix with an opportunity to beat
Speaker 6: the Atlanta Falcons. But in yesterday, all the cool stuff
Speaker 6: that you're going to get to hear Joshua Dobbs doing
Speaker 6: on the field that came with some of the less
Speaker 6: perfect moments, including.
Speaker 1: First possession of the second half.
Speaker 6: It is another fumble loss by Joshua Dobbs, giving the
Speaker 6: Falcons the ball. Young way kup with another field goal
Speaker 6: on the day after the Vikings defense stands tall, and
Speaker 6: that's kind of how the third quarter started. You get
Speaker 6: the fumble from Dobbs, then both teams exchange field goals.
Speaker 6: The Vikings go on an eight play sixty one yard drive,
Speaker 6: takes about four or five minutes off the clock. So
Speaker 6: midway through the third it is fourteen thirteen, so not
Speaker 6: a lot has changed there. But then every once in
Speaker 6: a while with this defense and Brian Flores and how
Speaker 6: good everything's been going with that defense, when you blitz well,
Speaker 6: sometimes you can get caught. And John hu Smith caught him.
Speaker 1: And for Atlanta six penalties forty two yards. Heinike back to.
Speaker 5: Pass girls right taught John hu Smith fifty forty farside
Speaker 5: twenty touchdown Atlanta a sixty yard touchdown Heynikey Tojhanu Smith
Speaker 5: and the Falcons have taken a twenty fifteen lead.
Speaker 6: Extra point makes it twenty one to thirteen with just
Speaker 6: under seven minutes to go in the third quarter.
Speaker 1: Getting a little sweaty.
Speaker 6: Now, Vikings offense responds with the three and out, so
Speaker 6: you're starting to count the clock.
Speaker 1: These weird up and down Falcons have an.
Speaker 6: Eight point advantage, and you got Joshua Dobbs still trying
Speaker 6: to figure out what you actually got in him, and
Speaker 6: that's where you stand. But Vikings defense a Caleb Evans
Speaker 6: very first play of the ensuing Falcons possession. After the
Speaker 6: punt punches that ball out, Josh Mattelis recovers it, and
Speaker 6: one thing this team's been really good at doing over
Speaker 6: this four game win streak is turning turnovers into.
Speaker 1: Touchdowns, and that's exactly what they do.
Speaker 5: Josh Dobbs goes out of the shotgun, puts Brandon powllin motion,
Speaker 5: poor receivers, dops looks left, shakes the shoulders, gets away
Speaker 5: from the pressure, right, pumps on a Falcons linebacker, shakes
Speaker 5: the tackles to fifteen to ten. Just down, Josh Dobbs.
Speaker 5: Let's go twenty one nineteen Atlanta. It's an eighteen yard
Speaker 5: touchdown run.
Speaker 6: The new kid in town, Shosh tops turnovers into touchdowns.
Speaker 6: The athleticism of Josh Dobbs to cap off that six play,
Speaker 6: forty yard drive. Looking at the two point conversion, it's
Speaker 6: Tristan Jackson.
Speaker 1: In the end zone for the two. And it's twenty
Speaker 1: one twenty one, which is a couple minutes to go
Speaker 1: in the third quarter. Now it's the defense's turn. Let's
Speaker 1: force a punt.
Speaker 6: Let's get the Vikings offense back on the field, keep
Speaker 6: this train moving and take the lead. But forget the punt.
Speaker 6: How about Byron Murphy just takes one away from Taylor Heineke.
Speaker 1: John new Smith in motioned to the right, Heinekee back
Speaker 1: to pass nnerception. There it is we knew what was coming.
Speaker 5: Hyron Murphy turns it up to the thirty carside twenty five.
Speaker 5: Hey's not a pounds at the twenty two yard line
Speaker 5: and the Minnesota Vikings, in the game tied to twenty one,
Speaker 5: have all the momentum on this midnight train to Georgia.
Speaker 6: Vikings ball deep in Atlanta territory, but the offense gets stuck.
Speaker 6: Cam Akers, with a nice play to move the chains,
Speaker 6: gets some inside of the red zone, but then once again,
Speaker 6: not only is he hurt on this possession, but they
Speaker 6: are left with another Greg Joseph field goal. Fourteen minutes,
Speaker 6: eighteen seconds left on the clock, Greg Joseph good from
Speaker 6: thirty one yards and the Vikings have their lead twenty
Speaker 6: four to twenty one. Now fourth quarter teams exchange a
Speaker 6: couple of punts, but then this was a moment where
Speaker 6: at some point you thought the Falcons might be able
Speaker 6: to pull away. They went on a thirteen play seventy
Speaker 6: nine yard drive, took seven minutes off the clock, and
Speaker 6: right around the two minute warning, the Falcons grabbed the
Speaker 6: lead back.
Speaker 1: Seconding goal from.
Speaker 5: The five for the Atlanta Falcons, Offset I left behind
Speaker 5: high to keep back through out here he has learning
Speaker 5: inside the five rinds his way into the m zone.
Speaker 5: Touchdown and Atlanta Falcons it is Tyler ral Jeer with
Speaker 5: his third touchdown this season.
Speaker 6: And now it's twenty eight twenty four Falcons just over
Speaker 6: two minutes to go. Vikings have two timeouts left. They
Speaker 6: have to drive and score a touchdown to win this
Speaker 6: one one with Joshua Dobbs, Well, how.
Speaker 1: Does it all play out?
Speaker 6: How about eleven plays seventy five yards that included moments
Speaker 6: like this from rookie Jordan Addison, josh Dobbs.
Speaker 5: With two receivers left and right, Madison to his right,
Speaker 5: four man rush. Dob steps up, He's gonna fire right
Speaker 5: and caught at the thirty five by Jordan Addison right
Speaker 5: next to the sideline, right on Jeffriokuda.
Speaker 6: One of the more gorgeous sideline toe tapping catches you're
Speaker 6: gonna see from anybody, more or less the USC rookie
Speaker 6: in his seven touchdowns in his first eight and now
Speaker 6: nine games with the purple big play by Addison, But
Speaker 6: the moment of the game prior to the go ahead
Speaker 6: touchdown was a fourth and seven, and once again Joshua
Speaker 6: Dobbs finding his legs, his feet, and his will to win,
Speaker 6: carrying him across the finish line.
Speaker 5: On fourth and seven at Vanda Blitzers, Dobs, He's gonna
Speaker 5: be hit as he throws. Can he get away from me?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: He does now on the right look at the right side,
Speaker 1: looking down five twenty Dobbs riding to the ten get
Speaker 1: he cut out of bounds.
Speaker 6: Holy cowt With this, Josh Dobbs and a couple of
Speaker 6: plays later, need to get into the end zone. Clock
Speaker 6: ticking down, time running out. He finds the former Falcon.
Speaker 5: Eleventh play of the sixty nine yard possession, dops back
Speaker 5: to pass.
Speaker 1: On third down, he stays in the pocket, tires.
Speaker 2: To the end zone, touchdown. Brandon Powell the further Falcon
Speaker 2: has Payton Dan Lena Falcons with a six yard touchdown
Speaker 2: pass crumb.
Speaker 5: Josh Dobbs thirty twenty eight Minnesota with twenty seconds.
Speaker 6: Ago thirty one to twenty eight Vikings and the Falcons
Speaker 6: get the ball back waning moments of the game. Heineke
Speaker 6: heaves it to nobody and the game is over. Vikings
Speaker 6: win their fourth consecutive game. Joshua Dobbs elevated to legend
Speaker 6: Slash Superheroes Datus for what he was able to do,
Speaker 6: including bringing that offense the Vikings on an eleven play
Speaker 6: game winning touchdown drive. Next segment, as I mentioned, you'll

Speaker 6: highlights that I didn't leave a ton of time for
Speaker 6: the Kevin O'Connell press conference from earlier today. So here's
Speaker 6: KOC offered some injury updates. You heard about the achilles
Speaker 6: injury ending the season of cam Akers.
Speaker 1: Here's KOC on some other updates.
Speaker 9: Hey, Ja Osborne and Jaron Hall are both in the
Speaker 9: concussion protocol, So don't want to get into, you know,
Speaker 9: the details of symptoms and all those things.
Speaker 3: Will allow the medical professionals to.
Speaker 9: Help kind of guide the week for both of those
Speaker 9: guys and what they're available availability looks like kind of
Speaker 9: moving forward will totally be deemed, you know, in in
Speaker 9: you know, as far as progressing through that protocol and
Speaker 9: what's in their best interests medically. And then CD and BA,
Speaker 9: both guys that kind of weren't available to us yesterday.
Speaker 9: You know, they'll probably be limited throughout the week and
Speaker 9: we'll see how they progress, hopefully to get into a
Speaker 9: place where we have both those guys.
Speaker 3: And then t J.
Speaker 9: Hockinson did you know, kind of sustain a rib you know,
Speaker 9: rib midsection kind of injury there, battled through it unbelievable
Speaker 9: toughness and and and he'll be limited throughout the week,
Speaker 9: but you know, hopefully we can progress him to have
Speaker 9: him available as well.
Speaker 1: To camps up tear the sam achilles he tore.
Speaker 3: A couple of years. No, no, it's I believe it's
Speaker 3: the other one.
Speaker 9: He your plans knowing that it's Jaron's and concussion and
Speaker 9: are called quarterback to start this week.
Speaker 3: And also as the back up.
Speaker 9: Yeah, you know, just knowing that Jared's going to be
Speaker 9: progressing through and coming off of Josh's performance performance yesterday.
Speaker 3: Uh, you know, we'll go into it, you know with uh,
Speaker 3: you know, making.
Speaker 9: Sure we get Josh all the reps to start the
Speaker 9: football game, while also you know, we'll work through what
Speaker 9: that looks like. Nick Mullens is progressing really well. I
Speaker 9: do not know yet, uh you know, as far as
Speaker 9: wind will open or when will potentially open his window
Speaker 9: and activate him back to help us in some capacity.
Speaker 9: And then we do have Sean Manyon on the practice
Speaker 9: squad who would be an option for us to elevate
Speaker 9: as well.
Speaker 3: So we'll see how Jaren works through it.
Speaker 9: I want to do what's best for him on long
Speaker 9: term and at the same time make sure that we're
Speaker 9: ready to go for Sunday.
Speaker 3: You're not looking to bring another quart again again, Yeah,
Speaker 3: as of right now, you know, unless unless that quarterback
Speaker 3: could be me.
Speaker 9: I you know, as far as the uh, you know,
Speaker 9: the amount of time and energy will will now put
Speaker 9: into you know, making sure that you know Josh is
Speaker 9: ready to roll. Thought what he did was remarkable, but
Speaker 9: there's a lot of things that you know, we'll coach
Speaker 9: him through and get him a little bit more comfortable
Speaker 9: in what we do.
Speaker 3: And like I said, Jared will work through it will.
Speaker 9: Sean Manyon has always been, you know, ready mentally to
Speaker 9: to go take on the whole game plan. Sean's been
Speaker 9: phenomenal since we brought him back in the room with
Speaker 9: the guys and and Nick Mallens has been in there
Speaker 9: every single day, you know, regardless of his injury, He's
Speaker 9: been progressing physically, but mentally, he's been all in this
Speaker 9: whole entire time.
Speaker 5: What does the process look like with Josh, now that
Speaker 5: you've kind of gotten through the first week and he
Speaker 5: learned what's on the call sheet?
Speaker 3: Do you go back and do a larger install whatever?
Speaker 1: How do you handle that?
Speaker 9: Yeah, I don't you know, I don't know if it'll
Speaker 9: be a larger install, But I think we'll figure out
Speaker 9: what you know, types of concepts and schemes and how
Speaker 9: we want to marry everything together. We'll figure out what
Speaker 9: that looks like and then install that game plan, and
Speaker 9: then there'll be things that we'll want to make sure.
Speaker 9: There were some things that came up in the game where,
Speaker 9: you know, reactions to a situation.
Speaker 3: Or how I wanted to go fast in certain times.
Speaker 9: You know, I just needed him to say the words
Speaker 9: and then I could explain what they meant after that
Speaker 9: a couple of times, and he handled that with a
Speaker 9: ton of grace and execution. So now we'll kind of
Speaker 9: go back in and fill in some of those gaps
Speaker 9: and try to help him out a little bit more.
Speaker 9: But I think the best thing about what happened yesterday is, uh,
Speaker 9: he can be very confident in this offense with the
Speaker 9: players and and people other people in the huddle with them,
Speaker 9: that he can just progress from here and just continue
Speaker 9: to stack one day at a time and get more
Speaker 9: and more comfortable with everything we're asking of him, and
Speaker 9: and uh, you know, we can shape a game plan
Speaker 9: around what he does best and which are a lot
Speaker 9: of really good things. So it's going to be exciting
Speaker 9: for our coaching staff and getting to spend a little
Speaker 9: bit more time with him and him around his teammates,
Speaker 9: learning everybody's names and making sure.
Speaker 3: Uh you know, he's ready to go. Stats.
Speaker 9: Yeah, we're working through that. Uh you know, Justin has
Speaker 9: done a phenomenal job in his rehab. He's still been
Speaker 9: a part of meetings, he's mentally in it. We'll see
Speaker 9: as far as I'll give you guys an update on Wednesday, as.
Speaker 3: Far as uh, where he's at.
Speaker 9: You know, we're still working through that, and it's possible
Speaker 9: we will open up his window on Wednesday, but we're
Speaker 9: going to do, you know, what's best for Justin and
Speaker 9: make sure that we're doing everything responsibly to make sure
Speaker 9: that when Justin does return, he can be the Justin
Speaker 9: Jefferson we all know and expect to see out there,
Speaker 9: and I just credit him for how he's worked through
Speaker 9: it and through this whole process.
