Lucas Niang Injury Update Please!

[notorious]

What is the word on Niang? We can't have current substiturd fill in for him very long. He's terrible.

On Williams run, Lucas Niang knocked his defender to the ground. Trey Smith's defender pushed him into the ground and most of Smith's weight fell on Niang's left arm. #Chiefs pic.twitter.com/M0NxbeRjYO

Dare I say, he's got a huge titanium lunch pail he brings to work every day. The thing is enormous and he eats liverwurst sandwiches out of it. He hauls it in wearing the bluest collared shirt that has ever been known to man, a shade of blue so tough it pierces the eyes. When it boils down to it, though, the second the team goat comes out of the barn he's their blowing it as you said. Can't keep his mouth off that goat's privates.

I'm sure, in all seriousness, he's a great guy, seems like a good teammate, looks like he's trying hard. You have to separate the person from the game and their place in it. His place is on the bench, or coaching high school football. Not on an offensive line in front of Patrick Mahomes.

As a player, he blows goats.

And they've already got a starter in Niang. As soon as he's ready, Wylie will go back to the bench where he belongs. Have some faith.

I think they feel either Christian or Prince has a place at LT. They're both young, mostly unproven, players that have been working on the LT footwork. To throw them in the fire at RT might set back their progress.

Plenty of faith here, mostly just joking at this point.

I do wonder why they would feel the need to have both Christian and Prince focus on LT, that seems odd unless they are covering their asses in case Brown leaves next year. I'm sure Christian will come back dirt cheap.

Niang is going to far exceed the expectations of the chiefs planet crowd that knows not shit about tackle football as it is played in the National Football League.

Andrew Wylie will not get the credit he deserves from the chiefs planet crowd that knows not shit about tackle football as it is played in the National Football League.

The chiefs planet crowd that knows not shit about tackle football as it is played in the National Football League apparently does not watch NCAA football and know that nearly all the schools have nearly all of the O-lineman wear knee braces all the time to prevent injuries.

The may view Prince as a LT backup and want to keep developing.

And it's entirely possible they don't want to put Christian at RT because they view him as the replacement for Brown short-term if they can't get a deal done.

If this is the case, I'm totally cool with that. Seems very possible now that it has been mentioned, wasn't something I was considering.

You should listen to me more often.
