Dr. Greene joined Angelo Cataldi to discuss Jalen Hurts' right shoulder sprain.
"Sprained shoulder can mean a bunch of things, but after looking at the hit that Jalen suffered, it typically means that he sprained or injured one of the ligaments that kind of holds that acromion to the clavicle. So that's the joint at the end of your shoulder, that when you land on that, that's what he injured, most likely."

Dr. Greene explained there are six different grades when it comes to shoulder sprains.
"The fact that he got to play the whole rest of the game, we didn't even know he was injured even in the immediate postgame interviews," Dr. Greene said. "He's going to be resting, he's going to be icing that shoulder, he's going to be taking a lot of ibuprofen and letting it heal up for the playoffs.
"Typically, for type 1 or 2 injuries, you're looking at anywhere between two to five weeks for full recovery.
