Give JuJu back his old role

The pregame news (KMBC) said he was done for the season.

They get 8 during regular season and another 2 if they make the playoffs.

No ****ing way this diagnosis is correct. Guardian guaranteed us MRIs were all that was needed to find a torn ligament.

Umm that sounds like he has a shot to be back for the playoffs. We just need one of him or Hollywood IMO.

Of course just seems unlikely, and both having a shot increases the chances we can at least have 1 back.

Is it wrong to be horny?

"regular season"

If it is, I don't wanna be right.

8-12 week recovery time

so he could be back for the postseason

Imagine the Chiefs going 14-3 to take the one seed and getting Pacheco, Brown, and Rice back for the postseason.

Imagine.

HE GOOD

we did it everyone

"A 2016 case study of a student athlete with a grade 3 LCL tear notes that the athlete was able to return to competitive sports after 12 weeks of physical therapy."

https://t.co/zYwpeUFdAR

not sure if accurate

i think that's 12 weeks on TOP of recovery from surgery

Yeah defenses have to respect Worthy or they'll pay. That's a HUGE element we were lacking last year. Nobody was worried about MVS.

Some might even all it....MAGICK

So is it 12 weeks, or 6 months?

That student athlete has nothing on Rashee

Not trusting anybody who is throwing around "lengthy suspension" in their tweet, sounds like a Chiefs hater to me

Good news but I think they act like they’re both out for good and trade for a guy.

Need help now. We just played 14 personnel with 4 TE’s and only 3 WR’s got more than 6 snaps.

Yeah and he brings a unique skill set that complements everyone else very well. Whereas Rice brought more of the same stuff Kelce and Juju will get you. That's no knock on Rice...dude is a baller, but it's jut a different scenario.

12 weeks just for PT after surgery recovery.

6 months total.

Now days you start PT as soon as you can post surgery.

When I had my shoulder rebuilt it was on a Friday and first PT was the following Monday.

Medicine is finally understanding that movement heals and the sooner you move the quicker you recover.

The question would be what was done for the hamstring tendon. If it was any sort of tear or reattachment then they will need to wait a bit extra to make sure that tendon is strong enough. That could delay PT.

And you had 460 yards, including over 330 passing. They were one missed call from refs (DPI on Xavier at 1 yard line) and one silly turnover in the end zone from scoring 40 points.

Exactly lol wtf?

Rap already said he was out for the season.

He ain't gonna be ready to play in January.

They really need to let the NFL Players take advantage of BPC-157 and TB-500 peptides.

Both of these facilitate soft tissue repair. They work amazingly well.

Go find a WR. You've got a couple weeks here to do it.

I suppose it depends if it was Grade 2 or Grade 3, but I'd guess 3.

Dude, if we can make man-made Hurricanes, we can have Rice's knee ready for the post season.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Rashee Rice (knee) had surgery to repair his LCL.
Rice, to be clear, is still expected to miss the remainder of the season. But it appears his ACL, meniscus, and MCL were all intact and well. This should make his road to recovery easier and, perhaps at the very most optimistic, open up a playoff window for him to return in. Rice was placed on injured reserve last week and does not need to be rostered in non-keeper leagues.

True. Still be nice to have some insurance though...at the right price.

They moved the trade deadline back a week so November 5th. Think they start making calls but generally these teams want to keep trying to turn it around for a few more weeks before officially giving up.

Yes, more depth would be nice.

Everything I find on LCL surgery says 6-9 months for recovery, so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Even if the Chiefs don't fully disclose his status, we'll know soon enough whether Rice has any chance to come back for the playoffs by how his legal team deals with his charges.

If he can't play until next September, I'd wager there's a pretty good chance he attempts to make a deal shortly.

Ligaments have no blood flow so you should always assume the worst as far as recovery time.

Key is to get the joint moving to flush nutrients in and out of the tissues.

Not enough time

He’s gone with the injury for at least 10-12 games. The only good thing if the suspension happens in the beginning of 2025 season, it gives him extra recovery time without taking big hits in games.

And even if he is able to make a miraculous return by the playoffs… he won’t be close to 100%, will not be in game shape, etc.

Trade for a WR.

Trade for a WR.

Trade for a WR.

The Super Bowl is....4 MONTHS AWAY.

Yep, write him offer this year, and move forward.

They're gonna test that knee out on the practice field the day after the AFCCG.

So after a great rookie season he misses majority of his second year and could potentially miss the majority of third year through suspension. That fourth year will be interesting

Terrell Owens made some miraculous comeback before the Super Bowl. I just don't know that KC would risk his future, especially if the team is able to keep winning without him.

He's not missing the majority of the year via suspension. it will be 4 games if it is anything.

Jan 20th, 2025

"Rashee Rice was limited in practice today."

Time to suspend him for his speeding.

The idea of a player returning in the postseason after a long injury layoff… hasn’t been successful.

Eric Berry Exhibit A.

Damn. Welp, see you next season, Rashee. Get well soon.

Terrell Owens and Ray Lewis say hi.

Broken leg recovery not comparable to a torn ligament and tendon repair.

Lewis was the day before the SB and a torn tricep. Again, not remotely the same.

If they make the SB without him, there won't be any point in adding him back in at that point and disrupting whatever chemistry the offense builds to that point... see ya in 2025 Rashee, will be great to get him back full steam after 6 or so weeks.

I didn't expect him to return this season. We've been pretty fortunate over the past few years regarding injuries, sure there has been some but this year is the worst one yet.

Better than blowing out his ACL but still sucks for him. Really hoping we were going to get lucky to get him back this season.

With what happened he's really lucky but legit, he could actually be back for the SB. That's wild

Cant rely on either of them though. We'll continue to hope for their availability but gotta go get Cooper or Johnson.

I never said it should stop us from trading for a WR though, did I?

Well you never really know do ya? Last year everyone thought there was no way in hell McKinnon could ever suit up again for any game and there he was playing in the SB

If Rice comes back for the playoffs, three-peat guaranteed. If he doesn't, three-peat still guaranteed tho

Totally disagree. Imagine golden state making an nba finals and saying "we made the finals without Klay Thompson so even though he's ready to go let's not play him" smh ROFL.

No kidding. He's a baller, he's going to play.

Yeah, the injury sounds like it's a much easier/better recovery prognosis. That good news is kind of getting lost in our disappointment that he won't be back for the threepeat, but considering what we originally thought this injury was/could be it's pretty great news overall.

Not to be too negative but...

What are the chances of full recovery from LCL? Do we think Rice will be the same guy?

.

Suspend him immediately for the driving thing. What is the downside?

If he serves his suspension while on IR the team doctors/trainers aren't allowed contact to guide him through rehab.

It doesn't matter though... Suspension will not be handed down until the legal process is over.

All the lcl does is keep the knee from buckling outward. He might need/want to wear a brace for awhile.

Like many ligament injuries a lot of recovery is mentally trusting it.

Has he walked it off yet?

Im not giving up hope for a second return this year- including “surprising progress.”

lets see.

I will never understand why people switched so quickly to thinking a 27 year old is washed because he had 1 bad season with a franchise that has been wasting talent nonstop since Brady left.

We do not need to trade for a WR.

He was familiar with KC's offense, KC desperately needed WR's, and KC didn't even make him an offer? Probably because of concerns about his knee.

He couldn't even get on the field on a team that desperately needed WR help.

And now we should expect him to be a reliable WR all the way through the post season?

Great if it happens.

I'm taking the under.

Juju doesn't have 2 complete knees. He's an injury waiting to happen. We need another WR.

Veach didn’t offer Hunt in FA either who obviously also isn’t washed.

Maybe we shouldn’t go off Bill B not playing a player at the one position he’s well known for sucking at evaluating talent at?

So he good?

His knees are shot. With the workload he had this past Monday he's probably still sitting in the same icebath he was in after the game.

Patriots 3 years 25.5 million was part of why he wasn't a Chief
16 million guaranteed
