****OFFICIAL Chiefs Injury Update Thread****

[carcosa]

We're getting to a crucial part of the season, and right now it feels like the most important thing to keep track of is the health of a handful of key guys. When Maclin comes back he'll be able to attract enough attention to make Kelce and Hill even more effective, and when Ford comes back, well, the pass rush could become literally unstoppable. Then there's Poe's nagging back spasms, Howard's hip, and Alex Smith's severe allergic reaction to throwing the ball downfield.

Starting this thread to have a centralized place for updates, speculation, and wbf's! Have fun, folks!!!

CURRENT UPDATES:

Justin Houston is PRACTICING today, and Andy Reid thinks he'll be ready to go on Sunday!

Phillip Gaines is OUT for Sunday... whatever!

STAY TUNED FOR OFFICIAL DESIGNATIONS!!!

[Baby Lee]

WBF!!

[carcosa]

WBF!!

thank u

[Baby Lee]

Actually, my apprehension at this point is that Houston gets complacent after Sunday. He wrecked shit, but Senor Sombrero did him no favors playing his rag doll.

Reminded me more of Dee Ford terrorizing SD last year than two titans at the top of their game.

Houston needs to remember this week that not everyone will be so docile.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Hate to say it but I'm not counting on Poe too heavily, at least not this week. I worry that these spasms are worse than they sound...

Hope I am wrong.

[MotherfuckerJones]

Maclin has to be getting close. We'll see about Ford. I'd expect Poe to sit this week with his back spasms. Howard is the one I'm curious about. He's been out awhile and haven't heard if he's close or not. Getting Nelson back this week should help a lot as well.

I'm fine with Poe sitting to get 100% for the Raiders game, and in fact I'd be excited to see Chris Jones get more snaps. If Ford is healthy enough to play without worrying about re-injuring his hammy, I'd say sitting Poe is almost a no-brainer.

What's the deal with dj white?

[RINGLEADER]

Every game matters, but out of our remaining games this one matters the least. We win out after Atlanta we just need Oakland to lose one other game and we're the number two seed at least.

That said, I'd love to pick this one off to make up for the loss to the Bucs.

Tomorrow the calendar reads December. It's the Raiders. You're old and your memory has faded like they will. They will likely lose multiple games as things tighten up.

These are not the same Raiders.

Aside from the Chiefs, they have the Bills, the Chargers, the Colts and the Broncos remaining on their schedule.

The only game I can see them losing among those teams is the Broncos in Denver.

or they can just have a doc write a rX for it, or just take it anyway because testing for it is stupid expensive. It has like a 2-3hr half life, so when your notified of being tested the day before, just dont take a shot.

Those back problems with Poe make me worried about giving him a long term deal. Those injuries never seem to go away for big guys.

Rest poe. What the fuck is up with Howard? Good to see Ford and Maclin able to test it as well as Nelson back.

Not even fucking close.

[RunKC]

It's so encouraging to see Maclin and Ford out there.

As for Howard, he's not an issue right now. Roches and Reyes have been fantastic replacements.

[RINGLEADER]

Hip injury, which can be brutal for a 300+ pound man

I have one of those right now and I'm no where near that size. Problem with the hip is you (and by "you" I mean "me") get pains in the hip, the back, down the leg. You can't really do anything except some stretching and resting until it decides it wants to quit hurting. :(

[RINGLEADER]

Poe isn't getting a $100 million dollar contract.

Not even ****ing close.

Yeah, can't fault him if he's hurt but I was really hoping Poe would go crazy this season playing for a contract. Hate to say it but the drop-off from him to the back-ups/rookie hasn't been nearly as big as I suspected.

[DC.chief]

Whats the deal with Nelson? Is he suiting up for this one?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Really, really encouraging injury report. I didn't expect Maclin or Ford out there at all. Ford I was honestly worried wouldn't even be there for Oakland. Poe and Howard will come along. They need to be safe with those big guys given their specific injuries.

Overall a lot for the team and fans to be excited about.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

He's practicing today, not sure if full or limited...

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see Poe as a Chiefs for the next few years but the speculation that he was going to get Fletcher Cox money was always way off the mark.

Depending on how he finishes the season (injured, number of snaps, etc.), if he expects more than $8 million per, he can walk. Dorsey's literally pulling guys of the street that are playing lights out, in addition to RNR, who was a 6th rounder.

I'm not saying that Poe is replaceable but he's replaceable.

Jesus, did you see a couple of the plays RNR made while at nose? He made plays Poe can't.

I love Poe, though, I hope he gets well and re-signs with the Chiefs. The Falcons have a good OL, so this will be a good test of a non-Poe DL.

Who do you even put at nose with Poe and Howard out? Time to activate TJ Barnes? LMAO

And Chris Jones is the replacement. Not position-wise, but in terms of being a force on the DL.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The importance of Poe is dimmed greatly when you have elite edge rushers.... Houston, Ford and Hali force the QB to step up into the interior rush no matter who is playing. Having a Chris Jones or Poe is a huge bonus, but not near the need that edge rushers are today.

Just look at teams like the Jets. Elite on the interior, but where's the production? They don't have the help on the edges for their talent to translate as well as it could.

This is about right.

I probably ink Poe to something like 4 years, $35m with a deal that allows me to opt out a time or two if he's just too injured without much of a cap hit.

If he doesn't want that, well... Dorsey is pretty much pitching nothing but strikes at DL. He'll find someone else.

I'd be afraid to go much more than that as well. While he is one of the top NTs in the NFL, that back thing has me worried. Didn't he have some problems last year, too?

[suzzer99]

Poe is probably playing hurt - and it shows in his effectiveness. Maybe they will try resting him for a while and have him healthy for the playoffs.

[carcosa]

I'm totally fine with resting him for at least this week's game and maybe putting him on a snap count for the rest of the regular season. He doesn't need to be on the field every down the way he has been for most of his career. Most DTs, even great ones, aren't on the field quite that much.

What keeps tickling my brain is the thought of Jamaal returning for week 17/the playoffs.

He's basically on a full year and a half rest, and his most recent surgeries were minimally invasive meniscus adjustments. He had 2 because you would rarely do both knees at the same time.

On his limited touches earlier this year, he bust a 16 yarder and I was like, uhhhh ohhhh. He's baaaaaack. (He wasn't).

But, if he can come back and give us a month long stretch, defenses will have to honor his presence along with the rest of our weapons.

So with the safety sack by Houston can we do the same play with Dee Ford playing on the left side? Would that be a good way to get Ford, Hali and Houston all on the field at the same time? I just want to watch those guys wreak havoc on Ryan and all pencil neck* QBs.

If this team can a) win the division and get a bye, b) get Maclin, Poe, Ford, Nelson, Howard back and healthy, c) dodge injuries in the playoffs (which never happens for us) - I think they'd be marginal SB favorites. I like our chances even in a rematch at Foxboro. And the NFC sux this year.

Sunday's game should be a good preview if they really get Maclin and Ford back. If they come out strong and win fairly easily - I'm going to start getting my hopes up.

If Dallas continues to win, they'll be the preemptive Super Bowl favorite, big time. If they stumble and Seattle gets in, Seattle would be the favorite.

I have a hard time believing that the networks or Vegas would see any team from the AFC as favorites, especially the Chiefs.

I'm just not sold on the cowboy defense.

However, their offense is so damn good. If Seattle can get healthy, they can give them a game I think.

I think the Falcons are a tough matchup for the Cowboys as well.

The Falcons are too inconsistent, IMO, to get to the NFC Championship game. Maybe that changes in the next 5 games but they're 3-3 as of late, which doesn't really lend much support to them being a championship team.

They also still face a pretty tough road, with the Chiefs, Saints and Panthers on their sked.

The Giants can't run the ball at all. Collins has been very good as a rookie for them at safety. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Giants be a tough out, but I don't see them getting by 2 of the 3 between Dallas, Seattle, and Atlanta.

By the way, at this point when a Chiefs player comes back I almost feel like we are getting away with something. Doesn't even feel normal to be anywhere near healthy.

No kidding right? Every time someone goes down, I'm like oh ok. Next man up this is just what happens to us. Now, I know there's a lot of teams that deal with this but we're trying to make a playoff run and haven't been healthy while doing that in quite some time.

[BossChief]

We are going to need to be close to 100% to beat Atlanta and even then, it's no sure thing.

Their OL is pretty good and can limit our pass rush...they are going to score a lot.

Our offense, special teams and opportunistic defense would need to all be firing on all cylinders to have a shot.

The Chiefs biggest challenge will the Pats imo (again assuming everyone is healthy, clicking on all cylinders and Alex at least is playing above average for him). Belichik vs. Reid is like us spotting them 4-5 points. Jason Garret not so much. Pete Carrol gets 3 points maybe.

[dtekc232]

I get that everyone's afraid of such a dynamic offense, but their losses have come to the Eagles, Chargers, Bucs, and Seahawks. It's not like they're some unbeatable juggernaut.

If our offense can get even a tiny bit of a rhythm going (which is, granted, a big "if"), we should be able to hold our own.

Yeah it can almost always be worse. SDs injuries the past two years have been incredible, and almost all have been season ending.

The Bucs and Chargers had to score 31 and 33 to beat them in Atlanta.

Potentially. I would like to think we have a better defense, especially in game results. Yards can be deceiving. 80 yards for example Sunday came on one play where the defense was forced to be aggressive with 3 minutes left and losing. Plus ot yards which normally don't go on a teams four quarter output.

[O.city]

The Bucs and Chargers had to score 31 and 33 to beat them in Atlanta.

Cheefs will probably have to as well?

these trends will go up down, and all around basically all season - there's no reason to put any solace into those sort trends. It's a league of parody. Everybody thinks Falcons will stomp us, both teams are coming off of big wins, whether emotional or big in scoring-margin. It may be our week to tax that ass like the government.

15 offensive points in regulation.

[O.city]

Kissel retracted, Howard didn't practice today.

[jjchieffan]

I didn't realize that Reyes was hurt, but that is 2 starters and a quality backup not practicing today. We need these guys to get healthy. Our defensive line has been the hardest hit by injuries this year. If Poe and Howard don't play, then that will be the entire starting line from week 1 out of the game. Thankfully, Dorsey has built good depth there. But there is still a drop off. Will this team ever be at full strength?
On another note. It's good not seeing Maclin, Ford, and Nelson on that list.

Houston (shoulder)
Poe (back)

I'm betting Houston's was a 'rest day' type of situation yesterday. Regardless, it's good to see that pretty much everyone is ready to roll. I highly doubt Poe plays this week though, which is the right call if it means he'll be ready for the rest of the season.

Jones, Nacho, and the rest of the gang better show up Sunday.

Nice. I wonder if they were limited or full participation. I would like to see everyone back for the stretch run.

I have to think even being limited this many days in a row is a very good sign considering the types of injuries.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I'm just super nervous that Poe's back is going to turn into another herniated disc soon... the Gronk news has led me to be pretty paranoid about the situation.

I wouldn't feel near as concerned if we hadn't lost Bailey and Howard already.

Maybe it's time for people to give Sutton his dues. He's been able to plug and play scrap heap DL's and have success with them.

Reyes was a wash out in SD and couldn't even make it a single season in Washington after signing as a FA. Think about all the no-name guys who've played admirably on our Line. People were high on Chris Jones, but even he's exceeded expectations.

Official Injury Designations:

QUESTIONABLE:
Houston (shoulder, as noted, he is expected to play for sure)
Maclin (groin)
Ford (hammy)
Reyes (knee)
Poe (back spasms)

Interesting that Poe is even listed as questionable after not practicing all week.

[RunKC]

Poe was doing light work today. I think the focus here is keeping him healthy.

Just sit him this weekend and have him back vs Oakland. That way he can play that game and then have a 10 day rest before the last 4 games.

Yeah Sutton seems to not always make great in game adjustments. He certainly seems to be able to get guys to live up to their potential.

[RunKC]

He didn't practice. He was apparently off to the side doing some stretches and light footwork per 610.

I think he's just a guy whose back is starting to cause inflammation because he's 350 fucking lbs and has been taking a beating every week for 3 months.

Saw a video of the old Patriots team doctor this morning saying (regarding Gronk) that once you have a herniated disc, you always have one. He said they never fully go away and often times come back.

I hope Poe doesn't have another one, but there is no way I would give him a long term deal for much money right now. No chance. I've been on the Berry bandwagon more than most, but even if I wasn't, that back is concerning.

To your point though, I would prefer he not play Sunday if he isn't close to 100%. Too important to have in the last quarter of the season.

The Falcons are without their best DB so we'll call that one even. The offense really shouldn't have trouble moving the ball against Atlanta's defense with or without Maclin.

Rest up, sir.

[Sandy Vagina]

Yeah just got a text update. WTF???

Hoping that JMac is around 90%, and they are just being careful to make sure he's good to go the rest of the way. Thank Jesus for Ty Hill. Without the threat of his presence, the offense would have no chance.

As is, the Chiefs need to get Ware back to being a strong difference maker.

Last four games for Ware:
54 rushes, 213 yards, 3.9 avr

Prior four games before that:
74 rushes, 365 yards, 4.9 avr

Chiefs OL is ranked 14th right now in run blocking. They were ranked 2nd, 7th, and 5th in 2013, 2014, 2015, respectively.

Offense run game is ranked 22nd in dvoa this season, where they had not been out of the top 5 in any prior year under Andy's tenure here. Pass offense is ranked 14th in pass dvoa.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Yeah but f**k that, if the Super Bowl is the goal we need a first round bye and home field in at least the divisional round

The whole first round bye thing is a myth, although definitely wouldn't hurt. Better to go into the playoffs as a wild card and healthy versus earning a first round bye and more beaten up. I bet Maclin comes back for the Raiders game as it has more implications in the standings than this game does. Essentially, we could lose two games of our last 5 and still theoretically earn the first round bye. I'm betting Oakland loses 3 more games. We really need to win Thursday night to get that tiebreaker.

Broncos 12-4
Pats 12-4
Ravens 10-6
Giants 9-7
Packers 10-6
Saints 13-3
Steelers 12-4
Giants 10-6
Colts 12-4
Steelers 11-5

It looks NE might be without Tom, Edeman, and even Bennett this Sunday.

[RunKC]

Yeah but f**k that, if the Super Bowl is the goal we need a first round bye and home field in at least the divisional round

Yeah but the Chiefs can basically clinch a playoff spot in the next 5 days.

If we beat Oakland next week, Denver is basically done bc they would need us to finish 1 game worse due to their division record of 3-3. We beat Oakland and that's the tiebreaker due to our 4th division win.

Miami might lose at Baltimore. If they lose and we win, they would be 2 games and back with 2 more conference losses than us, so we'd have the tiebreaker.
Technically we could lose to Atlanta and still have that 2 game conference tiebreaker over Miami if they lose.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

The whole first round bye thing is a myth, although definitely wouldn't hurt. Better to go into the playoffs having to play an extra game and healthy versus having a first round bye and more beaten up.


That's the point of getting the bye. To be healthy and fresher than the other team that you play at home.

If we are serious about being a SB contender, win the division.

As long as the division is within reach, that's gotta be the primary goal. I get the other side of the argument, but a team that has been as beat up as the Chiefs, and has aging key contributors like DJ, could definitely use the bye.

I'm good with them sitting Maclin, I just don't want them conceding anything. They need to go out tomorrow ready to do whatever it takes to win. Personally, I don't think a loss tomorrow ends their division hopes by any means, but a win would go a long way toward helping them.

I agree. I think they'll play hard. Buffalo goes to Oakland and is going to throw everything at them to salvage their season, then oakland gets only 3 days rest before playing us in Arrowhead.

I like our chances.

Nice thing about playing Maclin Thursday is you get a sense for where he's at, then if he gets a little bruised up he has 10 days until his next game.

I expect Buffalo to pull it out tomorrow. They've got a running game that can grind away at Oakland's lousy front 7 and they have receivers to blow the top of their secondary. Great defense too that is leading the NFL in sacks. It's a terrible matchup for OAK.

Winning the next two games for KC probably wins the division unless you drop the last 3 in a row.

[CoMoChief]

Is it time to give up on Jeremy Maclin?

It's $2.4M accounted in dead money, $10M saved against cap if cut post June 1st 2017.

The guy is made of tissue paper.

Anyone available in the next draft thats worthy a #1WR...FA?...can KC make a play at Alshon Jeffery? His production has been down but the Bears are fucking terrible on offense w/ horrible shit QB/coaching situations. He'd be 27 at the start of next season. Would a change in scenery help?

If Nunez-Roches continues to improve, does Bailey become expendable? Right now Roches surprisingly is showing up a lot...more so than I remember seeing what Bailey does on the field. Bailey is much better against the run, and the Chiefs do need to be better in that dept, but again that's not to say Roches can't improve in that dept and he was in the backfield multipe times vs DEN stopping the run.

Is Jamaal Charles a Chief next season? At the beginning of the season I was for cutting the guy w/ the emergence of Ware. Personally if I were a GM, I would never invest big money or high draft picks on RB's. I think in today's game they're a dime a dozen. Sure there are the elite ones that are no question ready from day-1, 1st rd talents like AP etc. But it's also the position where you can get almost the same value out of someone like AP as you can w/ an UDFA. Lots of parity at that position. We see that w/ West and Ware.

But now our running game sucks balls so much right now, I mean does anyone thing Charles is going to be back for the playoffs if full form assuming the Chiefs make it to the playoffs? If he is back to full form then he's the best player on the field, but I think that's highly unlikely.

Berry and Poe both have to be paid. That's not even including Marcus Peters. What if he continues to tear it up and all of a sudden he wants a contract ext after the 2017 season?? And if he keeps it up...he's going to demand a HUUUUGE payday. Chiefs will have to make some interesting decisions.

WTF is wrong with Houston?

****er has been out for like 5 years and now he's hurt again


Maclin and Houston got their money, they don't give a shit.

Yep. Injuries = they don't give a shit.

Holy jesus fuck.

Maclin is a gutless injury-prone fraud.

This is hyperbole at it's finest.

Like the Chiefs training staff doesn't have a say in whether he plays or not. Some of you seriously act like these guys are sitting with hangnails. Have you ever had a groin injury? Could you run a route with a groin injury?

I'd rather the guy be ready for our divisional games instead of playing in a game where he's going to be limited.

This myth that certain elements of the fan base cling to about the alleged benefit of over conservatively protecting injured players and only bringing them back for "important" (i.e. divisional) games is laughably moronic.

To expect a player to jump right back into game action and make an instant impact without an adjustment period is unrealistic. See Justin Houston's first game back against Tampa as Exhibit A of this.

If Maclin is ready to play (which he likely is) then he should play.

You mean how the guy played in NE in the playoffs on one leg?

We should totally try to bring a player with a lingering injury back 4 days before playing the division leader so he can play in literally the least important game left on the schedule.

That's fine. But don't act like you know what is going on or what their motivation is. What about Houston's actions make you think he is cool with the money only?

"Most likely"based on what source? Maybe he should be playing but anyone acting like they know for certain is just as crazy as your post referring to the other theories is.

[O.city]

I'm sure they want all hands on deck Thursday night,but it would be nice to get a few snaps this weekend to get back in the groove.

Yep. Officially downgraded to OUT.

He's not a gutless fraud, but he is hurt alot. So, its hard to count on him. Even when healthy this year he didnt do much. Just an off year for him.

[O.city]

They're in a tough spot with this stupid ass Thursday night bullshit. It's overall a more important game but they cant really afford to drop this weekends game and risk going 2 back of oakland.

A loss this week doesn't doom them for the division, but it possibly takes it out of their hands.

That Tampa loss is gonna end up being brutal

Dude is not in football shape. Just cant account for the contact when rehabbing an injury.

Exactly. Tampa this year = Chacago last year. SO MUCH more than dropping one game to a bad NFC team.

Im so not a fan of Thursday night football. Never have been.

JFC you are a dumbshit.

There is no such thing as a "least important game left on the schedule" when it is December and you are fighting for your playoff life.

The Chiefs already blew their cushion with that loss to Tampa which dumbshits like yourself also labeled as a "non important game".

[Red Dawg]

If they can move on from Maclin next season they should. We need to find a better WR that is younger.

You need to stop

[Mr. Laz]

Except we can't just move on

Our QB isn't good enough to carry wide receivers and we haven't been aggressive about adding Wr talent.

Maclin
Hill
Conley
Wilson

Conley hasn't taken the next step

Thank god Hill has been a stud as a rookie because without Maclin we don't have much. Hill is our best receiver this year as a freaking rookie. Shows you shitty talent level we have at receiver.

If Reid and Dorsey are going to stick with Smith then they need to add talent at WR to carry the passing game. QB or WR ... we need more talent at one or the other.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

The offense is fine. Maclin needs to stay

Wut. Houston is expected to play. And insinuating that Houston (or Maclin for that matter) is in it for the money is one of the stupidest things I've heard around here, and that's quite a lofty accomplishment.

I'm sure glad we have all of this info in one thread so that people don't miss it.

More hyperbole.

You know jack and fucking squat when it comes to if whether or not an injured player is ready to play. What basis do you think they are holding him out? Because they like watching their best receiver sit on the sidelines in an important game?

You're full of fucking shit.

And comparing Houston's almost year absence to 5 Maclin games is more reaching on your part. Maclin had a training camp and has a groin pull, not a god damn non-responsive ACL.

Sky is falling everyone. This mouth breather says so. Maclin is fine. Chiefs are just having him sit out to drive lunatics like him crazy.

Check out the playoff standings dumbshit, the Chiefs are very much fighting to be in the playoffs.

That doesn't mean the sky is falling, that is the reality of playing in the toughest division in the AFC.

But dipshit mouth breathers with room temperature IQ's such as yourself would probably label the Atlanta game as "non important".

How did that work out for the Tampa game?

[LoneWolf]

You know jack and fucking squat when it comes to if whether or not an injured player is ready to play.

You must have missed his earlier story about how he tore his groin playing butt darts at his frat house in junior college. He couldn't walk for a week.

The fact that Maclin gingerly jogged off the field means he isn't injured.

I think every game is important, you fuckbag.

I also think unless a player is able to produce on the field, he's a liability and should sit until he could do so.

But please go on about how players just sit out games for shits and giggles. Or compare a non-responsive ACL to a groin strain.

You're a fucking mumble mouth retard as well. He's not a fraud. Speed guys get groin or hamstring injuries. It happens.

[MotherfuckerJones]

The last thing this offense needs, is its best WR to further hurt his groin. He wasn't having a good year to begin with, so hopefully he's taken these last few weeks to get his mind right while recovering.
