Thank god

[carcosa]

That's good, but hopefully the doctors agree.

[TLO]

God. Hopefully we hear similar news regarding Justin Houston.

[digger]

Thank the football gods.

[Chief Northman]

His baseline must be pretty low as Travis is a dumbass...
I expect him to be ready for the Steelers.

[TigeRRUppeRRcut]

Harris, Robinson, Wilson, Ross Travis need to step up for Conley

[KCUnited]

How would anyone even know if Kelce was feeling the after effects of a concussion? Love him, but he's got shit for brains already.

[DaFace]

That's good, but hopefully the doctors agree.

Yep. Good news that he's in good spirits about it though.

[threebag]

I hate injuries. Hope the best for Conley

[ThaVirus]

God. Hopefully we hear similar news regarding Justin Houston.

Houston was walking and laughing on the sidelines immediately after the report of his injury.

I'm not concerned and you shouldn't be either.

[Hammock Parties]

Who is starting for Conley? Wilson?

[O.city]

Who is starting for Conley? Wilson?

Robinson?

You can replace Conley... (looking at you, D-Rob)

You can't replace guys like Hunt, Kelce, and Hill. Those are the keys.

[mschiefs1984]

Going to need him. Conley is probably out for the year can't afford to lose much more

[O.city]

Conley had really turned into a nice possession wr

when you own a 5-0 team guess you can call yourself hung

[Coach]

Clark Hung? 🤔

Well, when you're 5-0 and the only undefeated team in the NFL, I guess you can call yourself.......

Clark Hung.

[TLO]

Clark Hung

Conley has had a pretty damn good season and some real timely catches this year. I hate losing anyone and have so little depth.

[eDave]

And a new CP meme is born.

[kcchiefsus]

Who is starting for Conley? Wilson?

I hope not, he's best out of the slot. I hope they give Robinson a chance.

[notorious]

Kelce won't ever be "Okay", but he can be healthy.

[DaFace]

Well shit.

Don't act like you're not impressed.

lmao

Clark is Hung with wins.

[T-post Tom]

Marcus Gilchrist should be finded or suspended. Could have broke Kelce's neck.

[MAG]

Conley is a big loss. He does so many small things good

[RealSNR]

Davante Adams had a concussion, too.

We'll be fine.

For sure one of the unsung heroes.

Clark Hung will make some moves this week and we'll be fine

[ThaVirus]

Davante Adams had a concussion, too.

Yep. Adams legitimately looked like he was murdered last week and cleared protocol and caught the game winner this week.

Hoping for the same from Kelce.

[Skyy God]

Would take a REAL hard hit for him and Peters. :D

That's intense.


Die in a flaming bucket of aids Alex only fans.

[Oh Snap]

Could tell he got his melon knocked pretty good based on his face when he was on the sidline without his helmet. He was feeling it. That was a dirty hit. He was going down and was completely defenseless. Refs made a good call. Hope gilchrist is fined out the ass for that hit.

[temper11]

Anquan Boldin perhaps??

Yes please. Dude is an f-ing gamer. Obviously only if Conley cant go.

[thabear04]

Yes please. Dude is an f-ing gamer. Obviously only if Conley cant go.

He out for the season.

Continuing and capping a brutal Sunday, Chiefs WR Chris Conley ruptured his Achilles and is out for the year.

[penbrook]

CJ Spiller For WR?

Yeah. That was kind of frightening to read.

Props to the Chiefs for holding him out because of that.

Maybe the NFL needs to check out their independent physicians to see how they missed that.

[kysirsoze]

I was wondering about that, too. Is it possible that some symptoms like memory loss can seep in after a little more time? Don't know exactly how it works.

[In58men]

Jehu Chesson!!!!

[stevieray]

Heh, he had the deer in the headlights look after that hit, it was obvious he had a concussion.

The hit... then his head bounced off the concrete. (shitty ass "field")

I hate dirty players, hope that guy gets HEAVILY fined..

[Chief_For_Life58]

Yeah I think alot of players get the actual concussion from their head hitting the ground not hitting another player. Need to figure out a way to make the ground softer..?

[ptlyon]

BOUNCY HOUSE FOOTBALL!

[sedated]

Need to figure out a way to make the ground softer..?

If it gets much softer players are going to get their feet stuck and tear up their knees more than they already are.

[underEJ]

Never played football, but I have had two concussions in my life and both times I got a burst of energy after the initial stunning that made people think I was okay for a short time and then the effects became obvious about 15 minutes later. It might be that he was actually pretty sharp in the tent, went back out and then faded a bit later.

[Molitoth]

You can replace Conley... (looking at you, D-Rob)

You can't replace guys like Hunt, Kelce, and Hill. Those are the keys.

You can't replace guys like ___________________.
Larry Johnson? Jamaal Charles? Joe Montana? Brett Favre?

Not long ago nobody knew who the hell Hunt, Kelce, and Hill were...

Now, I wouldn't want to lose any of those guys... but there is always talent in the pool awaiting their opportunity. Next man up!

Happened to me once. Was playing in a flag football tourney and went up for a TD grab when someone undercut my legs, causing me to backflip onto my head and neck.

I got up, asked where I was... and thought "cool, lets go play football!"

Just so happened I was playing against the local Hospitals team, so I had a bunch of EMT's surrounding me refusing to let me play, and then they enforced I go to the hospital.

I do remember instantly thinking I was fine, and had a burst of energy to get back on the field. I didn't start feeling dizzy until the drive to the hospital.

Well, sure, that's a fine philosophy if we're talking about the long-term. But we're talking about a Super Bowl run this year, so losing any of those three guys would be pretty major.

[stevieray]

STOP TALKING ABOUT POSSIBLE INJURIES

DAMN.

[Kiimo]

Travis Kelce is the dude who walks into an emergency room smiling and chatting with the nurses and doctors even though he managed to impale himself on a pole through his eye socket at his jobsite and they remove it and he has no lasting side effects.

:facepalm:

There is no astroturf in the NFL anymore.

Field Turf is as safe as grass.

[notorious]

Any damage to that brain has to be minimal.

[BWillie]

:facepalm:

Perhaps, but field turf makes the ground harder than regular grass. When your head goes down and wacks the turf, it's a more solid surface for your head to impact.

[stevieray]

:facepalm:

I never said there was, dipshit.

the point was his head took another HARD impact after the initial hit

try to keep up.

[Chief Pagan]

If it gets much softer players are going to get their feet stuck and tear up their knees more than they already are.

I've long thought that they should try and come up with a softer surface. If players have too much of an issue with their cleats getting caught, then maybe they should restrict what type of cleats are allowed.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

2" of sand on top should take care of it.

[penguinz]

[BWillie]

Wrong. It is a softer surface than dirt.

Were you on the K-State Crop Judging title team or something? I would imagine the hardness & density of dirt depend on quite a few different factors. Not all dirt is the same, no?
