Optimism Toney could play week 1

[O.city]

Can #chiefs WR Kadarius Toney, who has missed all of training camp with a partially torn meniscus, actually play Week 1 vs the #lions? There’s some optimism. My report @nfltotalaccess on @nflnetwork pic.twitter.com/ycpCcr4nS5

His running style would seem to put those tendons to the test.

Optimism Toney good for one play week 1

Not because of ability but shit, you gotta be there. Luckily, we look to have a really nice WR core.

Yeah we suddenly have a nice bit of talent in the WR room to the point where his absence won't be too noticeable. Pretty lucky stuff.

But it will probably score a TD.

Though, shit, if he is healthy and good to go, our offense could be just real real nice.

The "easiest" part of our schedule is the beginning. Everyone is healthy, Patrick and Reid are almost unbeatable in September, and outside of the Jags the other teams don't really send shivers down the spine. No need to rush it, lets take our time with this one. Let Patrick carry you, he's done it a time or two in his career.

The meniscus is cartilage not a tendon.

For some reason, I can see some speed bumps early...no Jones? Sneed? Toney? Many young players- I can envision some frustrating moments and a disappointing loss or two

It literally doesn’t matter if he plays or not when we have Justyn Ross

Not even remotely the same type of player.

You can't. And it sucks real bad. After missing out on Hopkins there was some hope that Toney could be the guy. Well he did what most of us thought he would, got hurt 48 hours into training camp. Now here we sit, banking on a rookie(Rice) and a guy that might as well be considered one(Ross) I really hope Sky and MVS are ready to kill it this year.

Yeah im fully prepared for it. Some early growing pains and then hit their stride when it matters most.

Even if Toney plays, they'll give him what, 10 snaps?

Dude hasn't practiced or played. Even if he's cleared to play it's hard to imagine him playing much.

Exactly. Ross is a sure fire Hall of Famer, Toney is not.

Lions were one of the best teams in the league for the 2nd half of 2022 regular season. They won 8 of 10 games down the stretch. We’ll see if that carries over to this game in KC next week.
