Chiefs postseason injury watch

Compared to other teams, we are surprisingly healthy at this point.

Eric Berry and Sammy Watkins are still day to day.

You’re never going to be fully healthy, but this is about as good as you could hope for heading into the bye.

That’s an A+ regular season.

I've been wanting to say this for the last half of the season but was afraid to jinx it.

Healthiest season I can ever remember from this team.

Like, our worst injuries were to a RB we didn't like anyway, a backup DT and a blocking TE.

No one's ready for the Hardman-Toney plays.

Toney will throw a TD to Hardman this postseason. Toney has a CANNON.

CJ Spiller was signed to the practice squad

Training staff really earned their bonus' this year...

What about Thuney? He had an injury and then went out again. Is he still on the injury report?

He played 100% of the offensive snaps on Saturday for the Chiefs

Same thing last year. Besides the injuries at RT, this team was basically fully healthy in 2021. Just another reason that was a bitter pill to swallow.

He went out this week?

thuney is 100%

just gonna use this thread for all injury updates

bosa being fine is not good

I don’t believe for one second that Hardman is ready to go.

Sure would be nice if the dolphins or ravens could pull an upset. Prefer to avoid the chargers.

Really looking like Lamar won’t play.

Can someone remind me, what happened to Jody Fortson?

He has some type of elbow injury

Did a bit more digging, he dislocated his elbow.

Let's see......much younger team........many fewer injuries. Hmmmmm.....

I wouldn't assume the Chargers beat Jacksonville.

Still can't believe Miami gave up a first for a brokedick who needs to blitz to get pressure. LMAO

Seems like it would be easier for the Dolphins to list who is NOT injured.

Nobody wants to see the Chargers again for a number of reasons.

Not that we need it, or even want it to happen since we are likely shopping him this offseason, but do we open CEH's 3-week IR-Return window after this week as a backstop in case we need a RB in the SB?

True. The Jaguars smashed the Chargers earlier in the season.

I think a lot of people are just not feeling confident in Trevor Lawrence after his performance in week 18. It was a win-and-in situation and he played like a bag of smashed assholes.

Plus, the Chargers are getting healthy and hot at just the right time.

Yes that's a good point.

The Jaguars will pimp slap the Chargers again, because they, unlike KC, have no reservations about shoving the football up the ass of a team that is horrible against the run.

Etienne will have a big day, taking all the pressure off Sunshine and he will essentially do what Lamar Jackson has done to look good as a passer, and destroy them through play action.

Keenan Allen didn't play the first contest, but Mike Williams only had the 1 catch for 15 yards and a td, while being targeted 6 times. Not sure if he was gimpy that game, or if the Jags simply erased him, but the Jags logged 9 pass deflections in that game as they were all over the Charger receivers.

Herbert an Lawrence are both playing their first playoff games, so both will probably be big bundles of nerves.

The Jaguar rushing attack vs the terrible run defense of the Chargers will be the difference.

no matter who wins i think the chiefs have a huge advantage, in that mecole hardman didn't play in either game, and toney didn't play against the chargers and barely played against jacksonville

the chiefs played both of these teams so recently there's not a lot of surprises in gameplanning coming - both teams are who they are, in my mind, and so are the chiefs - who are just simply better, and with more ammo than they had in either of the last two games against these teams

joey bosa is an X-factor but the Chiefs OL is playing so much better than it did early, it doesn't worry me

chiefs win by double digits in the divisional round, guaranteed

Bolts gonna get bitchslapped.

Definitely rather face the Jags. Hopefully they take care of business.

Hopeful we have a chance.

Lmao.

He DGAF.

Has played his last snap for the Ravens.

He didn't write that shit anyways lmao

Okay Brooke

You think his representative would be ignorant enough to say something that stupid???? It sounds exactly like something that would come out of Lamar's mouth. This guy is trash. The number of franchises out there willing to put their future in Lamar Jacksons hands has got to be dwindling.

No way Lamar wrote this tweet himself… too many multi-syllable words.

It doesn’t sound like his syntax, no.

Seems like a PR statement.

0% chance Lamar actually used to words to describe his PCL strain.

Agreed... The most basic reason is the old 'because Chiefs'; by this I mean that teams make the unbelievable catches and catch breaks that they never seem to against other teams.

He probably typed it. He just used the doctor's notes on his injury. If a PR guy wrote that, fire him. I mean what a slap in the face to your teammates and backup qb.

I just wonder how long it took that reerun to put together a coherent paragraph.

That is unbelievable. I can't believe the team would want him tweeting that. He doesn't have an agent. So who else would have put that in there?

I want Lamar Jackson to go to the Dolphins just to hear Tyreek try to make the case about him being the most accurate QB in the league.

I like Lamar, hes a good dude. He wants to be out there for his team but he also knows they dont have much of a chance without him. Probably shouldnt have said that but he was honest.

The Ravens have played this to perfection at Lamars expense. They knew with his style of play they were likely to get 3-4 years out of him before the injuries started to pile up and here we are.

I get not wanting to pay an agent to save money but that will end up costing him way more in the long run. He may never see the kind of money that was being talked about.

bye bye

Chargers with Mike Williams this season: 8-2

Chargers without Mike Williams: 2-4

Fireable offense by Staley to play Mike Williams last week.

Broken back in a meaningless game. He got "Staleyed". That's how the NFL needs to refer to similar pointless injuries going forward. "How many players do you think will get Staleyed in this pre-season game?"

Not only is he likely out the rest of the season, but a back injury like that can linger for a very long time. Staley should be fired.

It's huge for us. Now we face Baltimore (very unlikely), Jax, or the Chargers minus Williams. (And no, we're not facing Miami.)

I'm guessing Reid and Co. have been game planning all week for Jax and LA. Far less chances of upsets this year.

Helps us either way. The Chargers are much more beatable without him, plus we could get Jacksonville.

The only way this hurts the Chiefs is if Baltimore somehow wins this weekend, then the Bills play the Chargers without Williams (assuming they beat Jacksonville that is).

Yep, that was so dumb.

Not sure how you can say that. Does anyone even know what his injury is?

Lamar is sandbagging it? He that dumb

Seems really unlikely that he takes the playoff off.

"Can't comment on the specifics on the injury" That sounds kinda odd, right?

Yeah, I am being a willing lemming following Rapoports wording

Now now. We don't want to be too harsh. We might want to keep the dipshit there, risking all their good players over and over.

“In this league, everybody is pretty much banged up, hurt,” receiver Sammy Watkins told Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post on Wednesday. “I don’t want to speak for him and his situation and whatever he’s going through with the contracts. I don’t know what world he’s in. But for me, you got a chance to do something special. We all know with Lamar Jackson out there, this team is really freaking good, and special things can happen. He can will this team to a Super Bowl. I don’t think he’s thinking about it that way. . . .”




Lmao. That is rich.

What the ****? The most injured guy on every team he's played for is questioning someone else's injury?

Didn't Staley also play Keenan in that game? Who's been battling injuries all season as well?

Holy shit lmao. Is he legit calling out Lamar for not toughing it out and playing, basically saying that he's not playing because he's scared he will get hurt more and not get paid?

I can't believe this mother****er would call anyone out and then act like he'd be playing in that situation.

Sammy and his prosthetic body might want to sit out this argument.

Staley told him “good game” after the Chargers match and he was subsequently doomed.

it's looking like the bills could be down another starter in the secondary

I'm starting to think it's a sports hernia injury.

Haglund's of the abdomen/pelvis.

****.

This is ****ing ridiculous. Why do they have to so damn secretive?

Mecole is done for the year probably. If he can't get back even with another bye week I just can't seem playing again this year.

Well **** they are designating CEH to return from IR. Just great

It's ok we have Toney now
