By video, #Ware news seems to be better than #Edelman.
Good news: do not see ligament tear mechanism
Bad news: could be meniscus

@ProFootballDoc Spencer Ware video. Just watch first angle, it's when he pushes off/cuts, right knee. Bent slight in. 2nd angle doesn't show

Translation?

Ware injury not so bad.

He'll be back for the Super Bowl.

I can't embed from my phone so you ****s just have to click on the link

Do we know a timeframe for meniscus? Whatever the fock that means

Year and a half after they fix it twice before they find out it's something else

Well, my 65 year old father tore his meniscus, and was walking around fine 2 days after his (very minor) surgery with no pain.

Let's hope it's on that end of the spectrum!

If it's torn, it's arthroscopic instead of cutting your knee open with a machete.

That guy was all over the map with Houston. Diagnosis by video a Dr should know better.

Chiefs think it is a PCL injury.

How long does it take to recover from a PCL tear?
A grade 1 sprain typically takes 10 days to heal completely while a grade 2 sprain takes about 3 weeks. Depending on the severity, an athlete can return to sport from anywhere 2-8 weeks after the injury but fortunately there are no other injuries to the knee to complicate the recovery.

Tyshawn Taylor from KU tore his meniscus one time in January, and missed I want to say 0 or 1 game.

We are talking about team doctors here. They did such a bang up job on Charles and Houston you know.

I saw Dr. James Andrews at Wild Woody's off of Noland Rd. earlier tonight - he feels confident about Spence's return!

Did they have to amputate?

Same as an ACL .

Hope he is ok but we are fine without him imo. If we lost Hill or Fisher for example, we'd be ****ed.

DeAngelo Williams come on down!!!


You're the next contestant on The Checkdowns Are Just Right!!!!!

Kareem Hunt and TrashCanDick got this! No worries

Looks like spiller may have a job after all.

Hope he's ok but we are fine at running back

so I know nothing more about his injury now than I did before clicking in... great.

With Ware in, I felt the RB corps was strong. Now? and after seeing Hunt try to pass block? yeah.. not so much. 50 pass attempts per game.. Smiff or Mahomo.

50 passes? Prob the rookie. If we have to throw that much it means the run game is non existent and when it's gone Alex is pretty ineffective.

Sounds good. I'm getting older now and don't have the patience/tolerance for this "matriculating offense" anymore. Throw the rook in... let him scramble around like a loon, and chuck it deeep 20 x a game, and let me go all

like the rest...

ROFL

Pretty sure we will have a bottom 5 rushing offense

JFC you're constantly saying stupid shit

Kareem Hunt is the most talented RB we've had since Jamaal

Hearing on the radio this morning that if it's minor, it's 3-5 weeks.

I'd take that

We were 15th last year and our run blocking was the worst it's been for a while...And all we had was Ware.

Run blocking already looks better and should improve even more when Ehinger returns and we added Hunt and Spiller...I bet we're top 10 in rushing. This is still an Alex Smith offense.

Nelson still sucks tho

Because of one ****ing game?

Let's ignore the fact that he was extremely solid/consistent all of last year because he got beat a couple times in a preseason game.

Gave up only 2 TD's in 16 games last year. Totally sucks

I thought both those guys went to James Andrews on the advice of their agents and wouldn't let the Chiefs doctors work on them?

Spiller is a ****ing joke. I don't know why so many people are high on that 30 year old broke dick that hasn't scored a TD since 2013.

If Ware's injury is as bad as some are suggesting, the Chiefs will need to sign Ryan Mathews or DeAngelo Williams or pull a rabbit out of their hat because this running back corp isn't going to get it done without Ware.

I think I will just sit back and wait for MRI results.

****ing Teicher:

The Chiefs remain hopeful they will get running back Spencer Ware back at some point before the end of the season. "It's not one of those things that's just clear cut, end of the season, coach Andy Reid said. "That's not what it is right now. We've got to go through the whole process here in this case." Ware injured his right knee and Friday night's exhibition loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

Early word on .@Chiefs RB Spencer Ware is R knee PCL injury. Video makes complete tear unlikely. Could return in 4 weeks and avoid surgery.

This would be great. Proabably back by week 3 in this scenario.

I'll be surprised if he doesn't end up on the PUP.

Happy but surprised.

Sometimes a change of scenery works out.

How much production did Joe McKnight have prior to suiting up for us? I remember he was pretty instrumental in beating the Dolphins and kicking off our 5 or 7 game win streak.

Spiller's had plenty of "scenery changes" after being cut by Buffalo. He played for the Jets and Saints last year and garnered 13 whole yards rushing and 6 receiving.

He's 30 years old and has really done nothing in this league.

Joe McKnight was 26 when he played for the Chiefs. He had 1 rush for 3 yards and 6 receptions for 64 yards.

Not exactly All World.

I bet ware plays week 1

Hope so best we got so far.

We have a great fullback but that would take away a lot things Andy wants to do and make our QB more prone to dump offs.

The Chiefs should probably look into bringing in Stevan Ridley when Denver cuts him.

This MRI is taking some time. I wonder if there is swelling.

Any chance we can flip the broncos a draft pic to get charles back<

Joe Mcknights career sure hit a road block

ROFLROFLROFL

Totally Agree !!!:clap:

We are fine.:thumb:

If Charles does not flash tonight he will be cut just like Hali I assure you. Charles has had several Dr.s tell him he should retire with those knees and Elway will find this out tonight IMHO.;)

Besides the Broncos brass are really high on "Deangleo Henderson" IF JC doesn't work out.

Who gets the bulk of the carries if he's out week 1?

RBBC -West,Spiller,Hunt and not necessarily in that order.

Kareem Hunt

That's... Not that long ago.

Seattle has a plethora of RB's.

Seems to me they'd lean that way as well but just being honest, I haven't watched much of the preseason.

better improve his pass blocking soon.

Reid's said this morning that Kareem Hunt is the #1 guy moving forward.

I figured that Hunt would get more and more carries as the season progressed to where he'd probably be the lead back by Week 12 but this is definitely unexpected (although it shouldn't be, considering Ware's constant nagging injuries).

Hunt's going to be forced into the role, which isn't necessarily a good thing. I'm sure he'll do "okay" to start but he's got an uphill climb, not only with protections but with his vision.

The guy misses obvious holes.

Hunt ran over Earl Thomas last night.

..not worried. EB will coach him up on vision, etc.

That wasn't the point.

My point was there's no reason to think we're going to drop to a bottom 5 run offense now.

Vision is supposed to be one of Hunts strengths so i hope this isn't true.

Can you coach a running back up on vision? I think it's more about just encouraging Hunt to slip tackles rather than lower a shoulder. Maybe that's what you meant. :)

People are overreacting to one missed hole. You guys failed to see his other good decisions throughout the game. He's going to miss some holes because he loves contact. Avoiding contact is not natural for him. But he is still capable of finding holes and avoiding defenders.

Dane I've never hoped you were wrong more so than right now - where Spiller is concerned - may turn out we need him, more than we know right now.

The Ware and Tear on these players...

I'm not expecting Spiller to be much help as he'll likely get injured before the season starts.

LMAO

I know what STaylor meant but that's still amusing.

I'll sign the dotted line for 5 weeks right now.

Damnit Ware. He new the offense and all the protections.

West threw a hell of a block last night.

David J. Chao, MD @ProFootballDoc
Multi-ligament injury never good.
Hope sprain/partial, if so, multi-week absence.
if torn, could be season.
Going to miss games. IR/dfr?

Hoping it's only a sprain

You'll find people on CP fixate on things that the announcers point out during games. Fouts mentioned the one play where Hunt missed a huge hole (mostly because he was following his ineffective blockers) and now "Hunt misses holes"

I don't think you can go on the PUP if you have practiced in the preseason,

Stop thinking.

Nothing against Ware, but this could be a blessing in disguise.
Hunt is going to kill it.

:eek:
