Let's move from the good to the bad.

George Kittle left early with an ankle injury.

I watched that replay a bunch of times before the press conference from George Kittle.

The replay concerned me quite a bit because it was a situation where he tried to cut after the injury.

He had tried to play through it.

And that ankle just gave way.

It just had no strength.

He looked like he was in pain.

Afterwards, he came and he talked about the injury.

He said he believed he was hip drop tackled, which is like, I don't know.

It feels like 98% of the ankle sprains in the NFL come from the hip drop tackle.

And broken legs.

That's supposedly illegal, but is never called.

What about like an eye for an eye, somebody gets to hip drop tackle them afterwards?

Maybe they'd avoid it.

But he doesn't think he has a high ankle sprain.

He is not a doctor, but he doesn't think he has one, and he's had enough of them probably.

Well, and it will still be in the back.

No matter what happens progression-wise this week, it's going to be in the back of your head during the week if he plays because it's a Sunday night game against the Bears.

He does have extra time.
