That is correct. If he's going to be out for the first 6 weeks, they can stick him on IR and bring him back after week 6. The league is going to allow to bring back 2 players on IR this year. However, if he is only going to miss 2-3 weeks, then the team may just keep him on the roster and have him inactive until he's ready.

or, you could have been a useless douche, and simply told him to stop thinking.

.. but you didn't. :clap:

Since you never stop bleeding, every douche is useless.

ROFL

We'll sit him 6 or 8 weeks like a sprain/pull and then play him.

He'll blow it out and then we'll discover it wasn't a sprain/pull...

In my early 20s I tore meniscus in my knee, they removed the floating part (so my knee wouldn't lock, and I was walking (hobbling) a day later, walking a week later, and back to running in less than two weeks. I had full range of notion back within two months.

So, given that he's a pro athlete and has different standards to meet in terms of what being "ready to go" means, I'd venture a guess that he'll be itching to get back into games 4-5 weeks after surgery. The doctors and team might have a say in it too.

But every injury is different, I'm just gauging his deal based on mine, and they might actually be very different.

Hunt's vision IS his strength but he is still getting used to the speed of the NFL game. Holes come open quicker but close quicker along with developing patience to allow the hole to open up when going against an above average d-line. Young QB's go through the same learning curve in the passing game. EB will coach him up on this. Every game in the trenches for the o-line has a particular rhythm and tempo that the RB has to accurately read and feel so that both back and o-line are in sync.

All this.

He's still a rookie. His vision is good. His balance is excellent. He finishes runs like a pro.

That said he's going to have to adjust to a significantly higher level of competition. That doesn't happen overnight

It will, I think he'll be a very good HB for us, but it will take time...

Twitter says it's likely season-ending.

And there is the blocking element...

It hurts our depth, but I think we'll be okay. Hunt was going to take the job at some point, now he gets to day one. Some of the best RBs in the league today didn't get their chance until injuries to starters. Maybe Hunt will be that type of player too.

Bleacher Report saying it's season ending PCL Tear

This.

I hate it happened but it's survivable...

Then it sounds like it's more than just meniscus.

You are correct but physicality I am not worried about and it is just a matter of time before he truly understands what to look for in picking up the blitz thus making the right blocking calls in protecting the QB. EB has this !!;)

Also, I challenge anyone to name a RB that hasn't been serviceable since Reid got here. Even Knile Davis had games where we thought he was pretty damn good in '13 and '14.

Andy's offense makes the position very low in terms of value.

Well at least he wasn't the lynchpin of our offense this time.

LCL AND PCL? Anytime there's ligament damage in your knee it's not good. Having torn an ACL myself I would rather have a broken leg then go through knee damage like that again.

Spencer Ware has a torn PCL in addition to other damage. He'll get a second opinion, but it's thought to be season ending, per @proatc.

Every team has injuries. Its part of the game. There will be more for the Chiefs. If you are a good team and you do not get an absurd amount of injuries, like that year that we lost Berry, Charles, etc, it should not impact your team much at all. Again because every team has injuries.

Hope Ware recovers well and next up!

Ugh! I hate losing a player for the season. But losing him in a meaningless preseason game really sucks.

KH, front and center sir! And sorry Mr. Ware.

I like what I've seen from Hunt but it sounds a lot better with Hunt keeping Ware's reps down vs. Hunt having to carry most of the load. West/Spiller going from change of pace to decent reps could go in a number of directions.

and why your scouts must be spot on the majority of the time for depth.

It will be RBBC until AR trusts Hunt's picking up the right blocking calls reading the blitz regardless of AR's announcement of Hunt being No.1. Just a formality at this point.

Exactly. And Hunt will be tested by opposing defenses early and often so he'll get a lot of chances to improve quickly.

Fugg! Ware out only means West will see the field way to much.

Now we have find another RB off the crap heap.

I believe it was Hog Farmer who mentioned DeAngelo Williams yesterday, we could do a lot worse than him

Hey, if our o-line run blocks well this year we are fine.

I would love having Williams. He is a Devonta Freeman type back that didn't miss a beat with Pitt and performed very well.:thumb:

Where is Ware on his contract?

2018 is his final year

Next man up.

Guess it's a good thing we have some depth there. We're gonna miss him in short yardage situations, though. Maybe Sherman will get more of those opportunities?

343 yards last year with a 3.5 YPC is "very well"?

:facepalm:

There was depth.

West and a 30 year old Spiller won't scare anyone.

Dammit I feared it was going to be bad with the delay in results. Hunt and West are going to have to step it up. I just dont see Spiller as much help we have to be looking for another back.

Hunt & West are going to have to pick up the slack for Ware, the way West & Ware did a couple years back for JC. Spiller is nothing more than a slapdick with a little speed to give the other two a breather ocassionally. Anyone expecting anymore than that out of him is delusional. But he makes the team now cause of the injury.

But you're right; another injury and we're screwed at RB.

This Chao fellow seems about useless in determining sports injuries. Should probably just shut the **** up and stop spreading false hope.

He led the league in rushing while Bell was out of the lineup, so he was doing something right

The problem I just discovered though, is that he turned 34 the week of the draft... either way, the list of guys currently available seems less than stellar

I guess you missed his performance with Pitt when he was filling in full time for "Diva Bell" the previous 2yrs. :rolleyes:

I'm pretty sure if you get your hopes raised by a doctor making a diagnosis based on what he saw from a TV watching the play unfold, then it's your own damn stupidity at fault here.

This was a fairly important year for his future contract.


This sucks for him.

I have a funny prediction: CJ Spiller is going to have a fantastic year and help out tremendously

We have a secret weapon on our roster.
Redding, Devine RB 5-8 205 21 R Indiana

http://prod.static.chiefs.clubs.nfl....ineRedding.jpg

Has JC hair.

Ware isn't anything special. Hunt is better. He just needs the experience and he's about to get plenty of it.

Haven't been impressed.

If he can stay healthy.

I forgot we had Redding too. I was intriuged by him as a late rounder during the draft processes.

I think people are underestimating the boost of RB talent this years draft class gave the league. I think somebody worth picking up is going to get cut.

Has 6 carries 1.5 ypc and


i blinked and missed them all.

Ware being out for the season, may be a sign of what is to come! uggh.. this is a big loss.

He's ****ing 34 years old and his 2016 numbers speak for themselves.

Dumbass.

Ware had more than 1,400 yards from scrimmage in 14 games last year.

What the **** is this narrative?

Losing Fisher, Kelce, Houston, Berry, or Peters is a big loss.

Ware is a good starting running back. Nothing more, nothing less.

Not so sure about Houston I fear we lost him 3 plus years ago.

There were times when we lost Jamaal in the past 5 years where I thought we were completely f**ked, and it wasn't the case at all.

I think Ware is a good player, but I just can't see this as a huge deal personally. The RB position is plug and play in this offense. The starters have always produced. It doesn't hurt that I think Hunt is going to be the better player anyway.

I don't think I've ever seen a bigger bloody vagina on this forum than you.

And that includes Tiger.

Agreed. And why I like Elijah McGuire out of Louisiana Tech who the Jets drafted and will be watching for him.:hmmm:

While it's always nice to have the best RB in the league, not only was Ware wasn't going to be that, I think most of us have come to understand that RB is one of the most replaceable "next man up" positions on the field. Not to diminish what a great RB can bring to the team, I just agree with the folks who seem to be suggesting that the talent and ability gap between the league's best and average RBs is very small. I'll also say that while most of the players are probably around the same ability point, perhaps the team's system plays into their relative success.

Look at Denver's 1-cut-and-go system... Almost every RB was successful in that system. Add some unethical blocking techniques the Donks all but perfected, and their system was all the more effective as other team's defensive players were simply trying to survive those meant-to-maim techniques.

So let's hope I'm right and "the next man up" can be something closer to JC in his pre-knee days.

Are you saying Buffalo is happy?

This really sucks because the Ware/Hunt duo looked extremely effective. 2 complete backs who could move the pile with physicality, block and be good receivers. I was very excited to have them both rotate and stay fresh for the long haul.

Now I'm worried that Hunt suffers the same wear-and-tear issue that Ware went through last year.

It's going to be tough to find a complete back like that now, but we'll see.

Hopefully west is healthy

If he's healthy, I think the Chiefs should sign Ryan Mathews.

8 rushing TD's last year, 600+ yards, knows the system since he played for Pederson in Philly.

The Chiefs had issues last year with Red Zone and goal line rushing and Mathews could be the solution.

RunKC my man, I love ya brother but you may want to use an extra duty heavy flow pad. We are fine.:thumb: Nothing personal my friend.;)

ROFLROFLROFL This guy is the most overrated RB who has more injuries and missed games combined than career TD's.

Dude is potato chip !! Touch him and he breaks !!

NO !!!!

:facepalm:

Matthews would be a good option. Always liked him just didn't seem to be able to stay healthy

I'm interested to see the cuts this next week though. Someone will likely shake loose

Dumb as ****.

37 rushing TD's and 3 receiving TD's in the same time span as Spiller, who has 12 rushing TD's and 9 receiving TD's.

5,261 rushing yards vs. Spiller's 3,451.

But Mathews is always injured.



https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/60988...8921/quack.png

Seconded, provided he's healthy.

If the Chiefs claim someone off of waivers, that back had better have WCO experience or they're basically worthless in Reid's system.

I think that talent pool will be rather shallow.

Ryan Matthews is flat out SOFT, PERIOD!

Ask any fantasy owner who has ever had him during the tenure of his career. No durability whatsoever.:shake:

They won't likely need that player early though. The current healthy 3 can hold it down until whoever they pick up gets acclimated I'd think.

Also, to counter "he's fragile", the guy has played in 26 games the past two seasons and rushed for 1,200 yards and 14 TD's.

Since 2014, Spiller has played in 25 games and rushed for 430 yard and ZERO TD's.

But Mathews is always injured.

:facepalm:

I agree. 16 total TD's and 4.3 YPC or better the last 2 years is impressive. I only worry about his fumbles.

One thing if for sure though: Kareem Hunt is going to be a ROTY candidate, especially with how good our OL is.

You're a ****ing 5 star moron

I would imagine that EB could help him in that regard

He had less than 500 total yards after week 8 last year. He fell off hard. He's a decent #2 back but he's not special.

Guess you didn't watch many Chiefs games the second half of the season.

We have dominated in the playoffs during those years.


I kid, I kid, but a player like Houston might make that one extra play that changes a playoff game.

LMAO
