Herbert’s Future, a Week 6 NFL Preview, Plus an NBA Deep Dive

Pelisseroso he popped up on the injury report on friday with a calf which is where the the blood clot is but like there were no alarm bells about he's not going to play he was listed as a full participant he it was not didn't have a game designation last week so it's one of those things that you kind of file away like all right something going on but you didn't see anything in the game that was like askew you

Pelisserodidn't think like oh this guy's like limping around and then it was on Wednesday when Jalen had his presser and he started saying like this was kind of a unique thing. Remember, he was a full participant in practice yesterday.

PelisseroAfter all this, he played in the game. The team put out a very detailed statement going through the doctors and the initial evaluation that it was a superficial blood clot. They put him through more testing on Wednesday night to check on it. The blood clot had moved. So basically now they're getting him on whatever treatment protocol medication to try to deal with it.

Pelisserohe's not going to play this week against the Panthers.

PelisseroWe'll see if they make an injured reserve move with them over the weekend.

PelisseroLike could be a serious deal. It sounds like it wasn't something that was a high enough concern that they felt like they needed to pull them out of the game. Remember, you got like a seven hour flight back and forth to, which that's the other plots, right? It's not super ideal, but it wasn't something that was bothering Jalen so much.

PelisseroHe didn't play in the game or even they didn't practice yesterday, but it got to the point where, all right, We need to slow this thing down and get a handle on it. So it's going to be Tanner McKee playing this week, probably still without Saquon, maybe still without Devontae Smith, all the moving parts on the offensive line.
