Chris Jones is day-to-day
 

Which means he should be good for Sunday barring a setback

"Day-to-day"??

So, it depends on his spirit?

As long as it doesn't downgrade to hobo spirit he should be ok.

Well shit.

Borgmann (former Chiefs trainer) says he expects Jones to practice in some capacity this week based on going through pregame workout: https://twitter.com/rehaballstar/sta...452952064?s=21

He’ll play.

Also probably important to note that Jones said last night that he will be delivering soon for the team....

I'm just concerned about him being 100%. The talent margin in the NFL is so slim him being at 90% could make him a non-factor.

Calf injuries are not good. Sorry but doubt he plays. Gonna have to go without.

Probably meant the team's carry-out pizza order

Pizzas?

I kid, I kid.....

Calf injuries can last weeks.


But also they can miraculously just like...disappear.

I hate the phrase day-to-day just like the rest of you but I think it's pretty apropos here

Yeah I mean it all comes down to the severity there. I don’t think Mark Ingram’s was the type where he could have been testing it out a few days later like Jones was.

Fingers crossed... if he can’t play and we can pull through, surely he’d be good for SB.

What was the cause of this injury? Was it hoops in the locker room like some have speculated? Or was it during practice? Does anyone know for sure?

I believe he was practicing a new sack dance

If he couldn't push off it yesterday I doubt he would be worth a hoot by this Sunday. These type of injuries linger big time. At best he would be on a pitch count and might not even make it through that.

Slap some fent patches on his calf, fill him up witb amphetamines and get him out there.

Listening to Nate Taylor on a podcast and he made it sound like Jones has a good chance of missing this game. Didn’t think that a week was enough to fully heal and be ready to play.

Anybody who has injured their calf knows...there is next to no chance of him playing anytime soon. All your leverage in the trenches comes from the ground up, powered through your calf. Really unfortunate. I guess there would be a shot a the SB, should we make it. But I wouldn't hold your breath for Sunday.

Best ability is availability. If he's not available in the postseason or doesn't contribute yet again then he shouldn't be expecting anything more than $15 million a year on his next contract.

This. I have done it, its a tricky injury that if your not careful you can easily make it worse and you really can't do much on it. Not that I am a star athlete in great shape with access to some of the best sports injury PTs in the world but still I doubt he plays.

The only thing is, why were reports before the game saying they were confident he could go and now they're saying he's doubtful to go a week later? That doesn't add up to me.

he wasn't moving gingerly on the sideline.

:shrug:

It’s Chiefsplanet bro. Everyone is an expert. I think I’ll wait for the injury reports.

None of us have any idea here and probably won’t until Friday. Fingers crossed that he’s ready.

We REALLY need him for this one.

I doubt he plays unfortunately. Mark Ingram injured his calf on 12/22, practiced only once and still had issues 3 weeks later.

I know not all calf injuries are the same, but this just doesn’t seem like a quick fix.

Hope that we make the Super Bowl giving him 3 weeks off and a shot to numb that mother****er up an hour before the Super Bowl.

Yeah, terez wasn't optimistic on his podcast last night on 610, but it was more because of how Andy sounded.

if he secretly tore his achilles, we'd know, right?

I would argue that Chris Jones importance was needed far more against the Texans than the Titans. We are all aware of Chris’s struggles against the run at times, including the last game where he was one of the players directly responsible for Henry’s TD run.

We’re going to need our big boys in this one to stop the run. If we limit Henry and force this to be a Tannehill vs Mahomes game, we win by double-digits.

I agree but with Spags coaching everyone up and the defense starting to gel it would have been interesting to see if Jones run d had improved. Yes I am already expecting him "not to play".:huh:

Yeah. We need every single big boy we have up front just for rotation. Henry is probably going to get the ball 30+ times this game again, and our guys will inevitably get worn out. Jones missing this game will ****ing hurt if it happens.

Could be a blessing in disguise over the long term. Last thing KC needs is another dead weight massive liability contract such as Justin Houston or Eric Berry. Take the $20M from Jones’ potential salary and use it for better depth in the OL, LB, or secondary.

I hope you’re right but I think the beef Jones offers along with interior pass rushing ability is more valuable than any of our other defensive linemen’s skill set.

Let’s contrast the 2 matchups we had with the Titans. Which one makes you feel better if you had to choose?

4 DL with Chris Jones and Joey Ivie and Okafor at DE

Or

4 DL with Pennel, X. Williams and Suggs at DE


IMO Suggs and Pennel are HUGE additions for this game and stopping Henry.

I would think the best starting DL for the Titans game would have to be Jones at DE, Pennel and Nnadi at DT and Clark at the other DE. Yes with plenty of rotation of Suggs at the DE position as well.

HoboSpirit - the sequel

I want a healthy Chris Jones on the field if at all possible.

I hope they're trying some 5-2 and 6-1 packages in practice this week just in case things get a little hairy. I'd think a DL of Clark-Nnadi-Pennel-Jones-Suggs would be pretty difficult to run on.

Yeah, we'd know because he wouldn't be hopping around on the sideline 3 days after injuring it.

Cut him if he doesn't play. No excuses.

Eh?

Don’t overlook the fact that the Titans are far healthier than they were when we played them last as well. Casey is back at full strength, their secondary is pretty much intact as well. They are thin right now at linebacker however, with recent injuries to Brown and some other Jag I can’t remember right off the top of my head....

Seems weird he'd be testing it out to possibly play last Sunday but can't go a week later, but WTF do I know.

Like last week when he couldn't push off the leg? What good is having him out there limping?

:LOL:

I had heard that he injured his calf at Best Buy.

As long as he is there for playing against the 9ers in the Super Bowl we will be fine.

But aren't we all day by day aren't we all?

existential thoughts by big nasty kc nut

This is the type of thought process that led to a rusty, non-game ready Eric Berry to start over a much better Jordan Lucas in the AFCCG last year (and assigned to cover Gronk, no less).

If Chris is in the position Berry was, I would vastly prefer he heal up on the sideline for this one.

Dont listen to the day-to-day bs. He isnt playing

If we win... we might regret that..

You really think so? Berry sat for a very, very long time. He missed 29 of his last 32 games

If it's a calf injury which we know would have him sidelined, for a few weeks it seems weird to me that the Chiefs legitimately thought there was a chance he'd play. I hope that means it's not as serious as we think it is but it's still just not 100%. I'm not keeping my hopes up but I'd like to think there's still reason to be optimistic.

For what it's worth. Arrowhead pride rehab guys write up on calf injuries.

YIP

I love how these fat old white dudes with couches grafted to their ass are commenting about how a world class athlete better play in the most important game of his life. I mean he’s worked his whole life for his. If he can play he will and suggesting the Chiefs cut him is asking to get sized for clown shoes.

What about fat old black dudes with couches grafted to their asses. Are they allowed to comment?

After reading that I’m not optimistic at all.. if he does get on the field Sunday he more than likely won’t have that burst that he needs to defeat blockers...

Yeah but some of those fat old white guys were on the JV bowling team in high school so they know what they're talking about

The defense is better with Jones but the Titans can't hang with our offense and we just have to slow down Henry enough to make them kick field goals. I'll trade TD for field goals all day.

So I'm not so worried about Jones playing this week albeit would be nice I want him healthy for the Super Bowl but not to look past the Titans we have True Grit .

The majority demographics of this place are 40+, 250 lb+, white, goatee, bald, angry and washed up. I’m not trying to exclude anyone my dude.

And?

So, you’re saying that he’s lost his burst?

Casey beasting is a legit concern with the interior offensive line being the clear weak link on offense.

If Chris Jones can't "push off", I'd prefer he sit on the sideline rather than watch an interior lineman pancake him as Derrick Henry rushes in for an overtime score.

Possible he'll be better, but I do wonder if their experience with Berry last year might make them more patient before Chris Jones gets back on the field.

You forgot 4.4 times, 10 inch cock and passes on screwing a model.

I am still disappointed that we lowered the standards years ago.

man, it's not high school football.

Tannehill is still an NFL Quarterback.

Don't be ridiculous.

This is where Spagnuolo’s job gets easy baby. 0 blitz all day long.

I totally agree here, I don't think that rust has anything to do with it

The Patriots ran 6-1 in the Super Bowl against Jared Goff and won lol

Obviously, we want Chris Jones to play. But it is funny that all year people have been all

“Chris Jones can’t play the run”

Now, with the threat of Chris Jones missing the game, it’s become:

“Oh noes, we ****ed without Chris Jones to play the run”

I’m exaggerating but you get it. We’re winning this game whether we have Chris Jones, Bomani Jones, or Tom Jones.

LMAO

Reid mentioning cj not being able to push off is about worst case scenario. -Booger.
He may not be ready next month.
They were saying Ingram II came back too soon. What was that? 3 weeks?

We'll know if they add DL depth this week to the active roster.

My gut feeling is that he will play and have a great game.

Yes, let's cut the best DT in the league not named Aaron Donald because he might be able to play this weekend. That's the smart thing to do, boys and girls.

Just cut him; don't try to get anything for him. Why would we want to get some kind of compensation for an elite pass rusher? No one values those guys, right?

And finally, we should cut him so that we could almost surely have to play against him next season. With any luck, he'd get picked up by the Raiders or the Broncos. Wouldn't that be great? That way we could vastly improve the chances that Pat takes a huge hit at least twice a season?

Tell me, should we or should we not take the advice of the inter-galactically stupid?

Duumbass dipstick. "Cut him" he says . . . how about giving the tailpipe on my truck a blowjob . . .
