SPEAKER_4 (1:25)

Wondering if you have anything on Saquon and where that stands at the moment.

Brian Daboll (1:30)

Yeah, I'd say with, he's still getting evaluated. I'd say with all of the guys coming out of last night's game and those that were injured prior, we really got walkthroughs slash jog throughs. So all of them will kind of take right up to game time and see where we're at.

And again, guys like Saquon from last night, he's still getting evaluated by the medical personnel.

SPEAKER_4 (1:54)

What's the logistics of that being that you're in Arizona? Like where are they going? Like how, you know, where does he go to get checked?

Brian Daboll (2:00)

How you dealing with that? Ronnie takes care of all that, you know, whether you need an MRI, an x-ray, whatever it may be, Ronnie will take care of that with all the players. You know, we've done a good job of kind of getting out in front of it before we got out here in terms of what we need to do.

And that's kind of where we're at with it.

SPEAKER_4 (2:20)

If you have to play without them, how big a loss is it? I mean, you played in 65, 67 stops. That's a huge number for a running back.

Brian Daboll (2:28)

Yeah, whatever it is, we'll have a plan, ready to go. If he can play, he can play. And if he can't, then we'll have the other guys prepared and ready to go.

SPEAKER_6 (2:35)

Dan Duggan.

Dan Duggan (2:42)

Hey, Brian.

I think there was some reports last night that he potentially avoided like a major injury. Is there any feeling even in that regard?

Brian Daboll (2:48)

Yeah, Dan, no, he's literally getting looked at as we speak. So I don't have the update on it because he's still being evaluated. You know, I'm hopeful.

Haven't talked to him this morning before he went to get further tests, but I don't want to speculate until I have the full information.

Dan Duggan (3:08)

And I mean, Jalen Hyatt, I think he had 89 yards on 14 snaps. I mean, is that something where his role needs to increase going forward?

Brian Daboll (3:15)

Yeah, I think, you know, each week we talk about personnel and again, how the game goes and what we're trying to get accomplished. All those receivers will play. And again, one week, it could be more, one week, it could be less, but you know, he was productive in his role yesterday and we'll just keep on trying to improve him.

Dan Duggan (3:35)

And one last one.

You know, Mark Lewinsky started every game last year, has been a veteran in the league. When you bench a guy like that for one game, do you think that sends a message to the rest of the team at all?

Brian Daboll (3:46)

Yeah, that's not the reason why you do it, Dan.

You know, we, you sit down, you have those conversations with the staff and then you sit down with the player. Mark was a pro about it. He was ready to go when he got put back in. I mean, I know he's always been a right guard and then we played him at left guard in the training camp and you know, that's, it showed up.

So he's a pro about it. That's a decision we made. And, you know, he handled it the right way.
