Dr. Chow, obviously, as you mentioned earlier,
a lot of injuries from the international game
today.
Aiden Hutchinson went full Gramatica,
hurt his knee, celebrating a sack, and then Drake
May ended up, unfortunately, having an ankle issue.
Now, they have a bye next week, the Patriots.
Looking ahead after that, they play the Chargers.
Do you think by the time we come back around
for that matchup against the Bills, we should
see Drake May, or do you think this could
be the dreaded high ankle that takes us into
a much later date?
By video, this is the dreaded high ankle, right high ankle sprain.
I'm hoping for mild to moderate, not severe.
I'm hoping he can avoid the four-week IR,
especially with next week being the bye week.
It would be five weeks of rest if he went on IR.
So I'm hopeful that that can be avoided,
and then maybe he's back for that Bills game.
It remains to be seen there.
As far as the injury to Aiden Hutchinson, it took him forever to rule
him out late in the third quarter before he was ruled out.
But by video, yes, it was a celebration
injury. I get Gramatica gets all the grief on that,
but this is not the first D lineman.
In 2014, Stephen Tulloch of the Detroit Lions tore
his ACL celebrating his sack,
similarly stomping.
And Lamar Houston of the Bears against the Patriots and Jimmy G.
They were down 25 points in the fourth quarter when he tore his ACL.
So there have been two other D linemen that have done this before
and it's unfortunate,
very unfortunate.
There's no official news on it, but by video our worry is the ACL.
