Gutted for Forton,, honestly thought he looked like a proper TE and probably our TE2 in the making. Was blocking really well and catching everything that came his way. Really hope he comes back

I was a Fortson doubter, but this is heartbreaking. The question is.. Should a guy like fountain make the switch? He's clearly just fringe NFL talent as a wideout.

How about Jamie Collins

Yea who has never played college football. He was part of the Baylor Bears basketball team that won it all

Where is Josh Gordon at? Put him at tight end on a few passing downs, he's got the size and lots of speed can out run a line backer I would hope!

He looked like he was coming on, getting more and more looks.

This injury is a huge for Fortson and for the Chiefs. I'm glad he's young because Achilles injuries are so difficult.

That's too bad. Looked like he was just getting comfortable in the O.

At 6-1 and 212, that's a stretch. Those guys are usually in the 6-4/5 range and at least 240. Hoping Fortson can come back because he showed real promise. He made a beautiful catch yesterday.

It wasn't on a lot of snaps but PFF had him on something like a 78 grade, about the fifth highest on the offensive side for us, I think. I'm keeping everything crossed for him. Aside from the obvious graft and talent he seemed like a really positive influence.

Hopefully he'll make a full recovery and be back next year. Everyone loves an underdog story

This really BLOWS.
