Jalen Hurts News + Week 6 Love/Hate

Matthew Berry (0:09)

It's one o'clock here on the East Coast, which of course means it is five o'clock somewhere. It's time to get Happy Hour started. I, of course, am Matthew Berry, your friendly neighborhood bartender, along with Michelle Beatle and former D1 quarterback Mo Hassan. It is Love Hate Day, boys and girls.

Michelle Beisner-Buck (0:22)

Yes, not to be confused with Love Hate Week, which I do separately.

Matthew Berry (0:26)

Correct. Of the seven days of, if it's a Love Hate Week for you, Beatle, how many of those, there's seven days in a week.

Michelle Beisner-Buck (0:35)

Sure, sure.

Matthew Berry (0:35)

How many do you think of those days are more hate than love?

Michelle Beisner-Buck (0:38)

Well, I mean, I'd say five too. That's what I would agree. But it's not an active hate. It's just, it simmers below the surface.

Matthew Berry (0:47)

It simmers below the surface. Beatle when she's at home like playing online casino, it's just like a simmering.

Michelle Beisner-Buck (0:53)

I can't say this because I'm a company person, but I had to eliminate the app from my phone for a while. Okay, so here's the deal. But we do have a little bit of news before we can get to all that. So Patriots.

Matthew Berry (1:04)

Always play responsibly, by the way.

Michelle Beisner-Buck (1:06)

Obviously.

Matthew Berry (1:06)

Yes.

Michelle Beisner-Buck (1:07)

Patriots have designated AJ Brown to return from IR. He was back at practice yesterday, so that return to the Patriots means what?

Matthew Berry (1:17)

Yeah, I mean, like, listen, it's good, right? I think it's unlikely he plays this week, and I'll get, there's a few reasons why. Number one, of course, is just like, it's so soon after.

If he were, if we knew that he was playing and he was without limitations, I think he'd be a low end wide receiver, too, bordering on high end wide receiver, too. And you're like, Barry, it's AJ Brown. Why wouldn't you? Well, there's now concerns, literally just as we were getting on air, yep, just as we were getting on air.

The Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is not going to play on Sunday. And so this is from Ian Rappaport. I'm literally reading this tweet right now. Full statement from the Eagles on quarterback Jalen Hurts. Quote, on Thursday, October 8th, Jalen visited the training room after practice requesting treatment for his calf, informing the medical staff he had been cleated during the Rams game on the fourth. This was his first treatment session for calf injury following the game after having practice in full both Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday, Jalen received treatment. Practice in full was out of the practice report. Out of an abundance of caution, an ultrasound was performed on Saturday following the team's flight to London and walk through. The ultrasound revealed a superficial blood clot. Our medical staff and doctors in London reviewed the results and concluded that activity and mobility were important and that Jalen could safely play.

Doctors recommended a follow-up ultrasound within 72 hours of the game and the return flight to Philadelphia.

Jalen played without limitation on the game Sunday, received treatment on Monday and Tuesday. Practice in full on Wednesday as reflected in the practice report. Throughout our time in London and this week, we've remained in communication with the league office regarding the matter. On Wednesday night, a follow-up ultrasound revealed movement in the small blood clot. Jalen will be out for Sunday's game versus the Panthers as we determine the appropriate course of treatment. His health and safety are our highest priority. He's out for Sunday. Now, I will tell you, just reading that out loud, it sounds like a lot of CYA, to be perfectly honest, and we can talk about that tomorrow on pregame. But for Fantasy Football purposes, this ain't great.

Mo Hassan (3:16)

Tanner McKee time.

Matthew Berry (3:17)

Is it Tanner? I like Tanner McKee.

Mo Hassan (3:19)

I did too. I played against him at Stanford. He got her. I had coach fired Clay Hohen through for 400 yards. Since that day, I was like, yeah, this dude's a dog. But anyway. Wow, that's horrible.

Matthew Berry (3:30)

I think a lot of people are like, wait a minute, I thought Andy Dalton was the backup. They've released Andy Dalton.

Michelle Beisner-Buck (3:35)

Tanner is actually really good.

Matthew Berry (3:36)

Yes. I had Tanner in a dynasty league. I swear to God, I had Tanner in a couple of dynasty leagues because I'm like, this guy's going to be a starting quarterback in the NFL at some point.

Michelle Beisner-Buck (3:44)

Yeah.

Matthew Berry (3:45)

So people probably are not familiar, Mo, with Tanner McKee. Talk to me a little bit about-
