Jared Wiley [tore his ACL] in practice Friday

[RunKC]

**** me is this shit ever gonna end?

Chiefs TE Jared Wiley suffered a knee injury in practice Friday. We will get an update from Andy Reid around 1 p.m. but my understanding is that it’s a significant injury.

Wiley is the second tight end Chiefs have lost this week after Jody Fortson torn his ACL vs Raiders.

I said we would be our own obstacle and second but more serious were injuries.

This was my biggest fear and at just 7 games in, we have been crushed by major players with major injuries.

We really need a break heading into the last 10 regular season games.

Hoping for the injury bug to be cured..

Yah, totally agree. We've been so lucky for the most part about injuries during this run, been waiting for awhile now for the other shoe to finally drop. Feels like this season might be the one, though obviously we all hope not.

The Chiefs purposefully let Jody move on to Miami this offseason. Brought in Wiley to be a replacement.

And yet they ended up signing Jody back and installing him as TE3 at the first opportunity after seeing Wiley for months in their practices.

Best wishes and all that, his story isn’t finished, but all signs before this injury pointed toward more of a Skyy Moore career outlook than a Noah Gray. Just my .02 and it’s probably not popular.

Dunno about Sky Moore, he's a better athlete for the position, but it's all straight line speed. The dude is just stiff.

Well, this thinking could be viewed negatively but here goes.

Key players on opposing teams roster in the playoffs or SB could have injury as well to even things out. Like Hutchinson on the Lions team for example.

That would be one form of a "break" to help us out.

We've been on the right side of that sort of thing for a long time now. Just one example, for the SB, SF was missing Hufanga, their best S, Greenlaw went down, Deebo got dinged, one of their better CBs got hurt, etc. And when we played them a couple weeks ago, same thing; no Hufanga, no Greenlaw, etc.

Iirc, LAC was down several key starters including an OT.

NOR had to start Rattler. Several of their starting OLs have been out. Taysom Hill couldn't go.

And this week TB, the top offense in the league, is without both their starting WRs, and on defense they're without their CB2, CB3, best coverage LBs . . .

It's not rocket science how we've been struggling to put points up, but keep winning one-score games vs. some of the 'top' offensive teams in the league.

Gray, stay healthy bud.

Uhhhh, I recall a Carr starting that game. I think he got injured during the game.

Eh, whatever. I thought I rememberd Rattler playing.

The real loss for them, besides having two or three starting OLs out, was Taysom Hill. That offense basically collapsed without him.

It's more that Shaheed is out for the year.

Maybe. But their scoring efficiency went right into the toilet the moment Taysom wasn't able to play. Kind of reminded me of how SF's offense took a big hit when CMC wasn't able to suit up. Lost basically a TD and 100+ yds of offense per game.

Somewhere Over Dwayne Bowe

He’s probably tight end sized now.

[Rainbarrel]

Did Wiley have to be muzzled to keep from naturally chewing his leg off

[Sassy Squatch]

I remember him on the Browns being thick as ****.
