Dr. Kris Okumu (Coastal Health Partners - California) explains what is most likely causing the sub-Kyler level play the last few weeks. Now, subpar Kyler is still INCREDIBLE, but we have gone from MVP talk to, well, not. This is not a major injury but it effects his throwing motion and his ability to run in the sense that when he gets hit it hurts even more than it normally does (which is usually like a car accident). That combination makes the D's job much easier on the ot...her end, but like we saw last week, not easy enough. I think his biggest issue is his coach. Kyler has made Kingsbury look really good. Probably too good. Can Cliff develop a game plan that protects his QB and wins a game? I'm not so sure. www.mycoastalhealthpartners.com

Dr. Kris Okumu explains San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel's season ending hamstring injury yesterday against the Washington Football Team (they need a name soon). Just a reminder, these video explanations and predictions are based on medical decisions that are best for the athlete NOT the team. We also do not get to see x-rays, MRIs, or anything other than the videos (or lack of) and our expertise and experience as orthopedic surgeons. Just because a player plays doesn't m...ean he/she is healthy enough. That is where re-injury or worse injury occurs, like Deebo.

We had this one in the vault! No substantial NFL or NCAA injuries this weekend, so we dropped this instead! Poor Klay. Two years. Two season ending injuries.... Dr. Faisal Mirza is an orthopedic surgeon with Coastal Health Partners in Watsonville, CA

Dr. Kris Okumu discusses Danny Dimes' injury, what the likely recovery looks like and when the G Men can expect him back. Personally, I would keep him out. It's really easy to worsen an already damaged hamstring and it is his push off leg. He won't be able to run normally and it will have to affect his accuracy. What's the point? Not much to gain and high draft picks for an already tough team in a weak division. Sounds perfect!!...

BRUTAL for Bengals fans. The good news is, you know who your franchise QB is (it's been a while). Bad news? You won't see him until next season (hopefully by week 1). Dr. Faisal Mirza from Coastal Health Partners in California explains the injury, the repair process and the recovery process. It's going to be a long road ahead, but there are countless athletes that have had similar procedures and come back to play at an elite level. ... Burrow will be no different. www.mycoastalhealthpartners.com

VERY different information than what they said yesterday!! Not much changes as far as time off the field, but a collapsed lung and multiple fractures is NOT cartilage damage!
