We welcome urologist, Dr. Jayram Krishnan, to our show to discuss the important topic of testicular cancer. Hear the amazing story of Denver Bronco linebacker, Alex Singleton. Learn how he was diagnosed and the importance of awareness and self exams within the young, athletic population, those whom are most at risk. How did he only miss one game!?! We also touch on TJ Watt and what to expect from the pneumothorax which currently has him sidelined. Will he be back for this all important, playoff deciding, upcoming game with the Ravens?

Herbert, Danny Dimes, Rodgers and more! How are three NFL quaterbacks playing with fractures? The common thread of this most recent episode is how are three hockey players, I mean, NFL quarterbacks currently playing despite breaking bones?

There were a few high profile injuries in the NFL the last few weeks! We discuss some of these types of injuries, highlighted by the Jayden Daniels elbow dislocation and the Travis Hunter LCL tear. Despite how gruesome the elbow dislocation was to watch, will it be devastating for his career? When will he be back and will get back to playing at the same level? We covered these topics along with the Alex Singleton story, Joe Burrow, Garrett Wilson, Oronde Gadsden, and of course, Joel Embiid!

Slightly delayed, but this a very interesting episode on open ankle fracture dislocations like the gruesome injury sustained by Cam Skattebo on a nationally televised game. We talk about some of the concerns associated with an open fractures and the standard treatment options. We compare this injury to other similar injuries and try to predict the career impact this injury will have on this hard charging young player!

As the NBA gets rolling, we do another injury roundup. The story for Embiid this time is NOT being on the injury report! How long will that last? We also review most of the major injuries from last year and the impact to expect for this season.

We compare and contrast three different knee injuries, ACL, PCL and multi-ligament knee injuries commonly the result of a knee dislocation. The spring board for this conversation being the gruesome injury sustained by Tyreek Hill on national television on Monday Night Football. Those injuries are not just difficult to watch, they can be devastating. They are not uncommonly associated with nerve injuries (drop foot) and, even worse, occasionally vascular injuries potentially resulting in amputation.

With so many foot and ankle injuries to high profile players, we needed to bring Dr. Matthew Brant back onto the show to give us some insight regarding the timing and expectations for return. Why does Joe Burrow need surgery on his turf toe injury, while Brock Purdy did not? What might the "foot" injury to James Conner actually be, and did his career just end? Lastly, who doesn't have a high ankle injury nowadays?

To follow up our in depth preseason review, we have our first injury recap. We cover multiple injuries and expected time missed with each of these. We even dip our toe back into MLB, with Trea Turner and hamstring injuries.
