Yes its complete speculation and he could be wrong.  Dr. Chao has a "schtick" and its reporting snap judgements on injuries based on limited information.  His gimmick is filling in the gap of time between the injury and the actual reporting of the details of the injury.  The guys with their "hands on" Horn are not going to give us information for a while...even though they might already know.

Dr. Chao spent nearly 2 decades as and NFL team doctor and he's actually pretty accurate.  Being a doctor means understanding the body and injuries.  But he has spent alot of time reviewing how certain injuries happen and the players reaction to certain injuries.

I remember years ago a star player underwent surgery leading up to the season.  Dr. Chao was on NFL Radio throwing out his random input.  He said the type of surgery the guy had takes every bit of 10-12 weeks for the incisions and tissue to heal.  The problem is the guy is going to feel "normal" after only 6-7 weeks so his instinct is going to be to go back at it...and its going to be hard for the team doctors to convince him he needs to wait another 4+ weeks even though he feels fine.  So Dr. Chao predicted he'd go back at it early, and tear some stuff open and be out for the season.  That was exactly what happened.

Yet he was completely wrong here, which proves my point.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
