Return from I.R. Super Bowl
 

Are there any players who could return from I.R. for the Super Bowl?

I don't think it would happen but I wonder where Cook is in his recovery.

Not so much IR but getting Gay and Thuney back would be a pretty big deal.

How bout the kid whose foot turned the wrong way?? Cook..

Getting Skyy back for depth wouldn't be a bad thing

Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney are not taking any snaps for the team the rest of this year...maybe ever.

If there is a benevolent God, this will be a true statement.

Having heard NOTHING about Cook likely means he's done.

Someone was saying that a 2nd opinion on Thuney found an actual tear in the pec and that he was probably done for the season. That's why he was ruled out before the game started.

Only rumors, but that's what the rumors were.

As for Gay - man, he's gotta be back, right? I just can't see him 'giving it a shot' pre-game but not being ready in 2 weeks.

Fortunately, the 49ers don't have a Madubuike so I'm not as worried about not having Thuney in that game. Allegretti can get the job done against the 49ers interior line. Especially since SF doesn't utilize much in the way of complicate blitz packages that would create communication problems.

We don't need Thuney as much against SF as we did against Baltimore.

No thanks.

I don't think there's any way Thuney is playing. I saw a picture of him in the locker room celebrating with his shirt off, and his entire pec/armpit/upper arm are bruised. If there's even a question of a tear - and there is - I don't see how he plays.


Edit: I found it:


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Joe Thuney in a locker room celebration. We&#39;re praying for his recovery &amp; that he can play in the Super Bowl. ���� <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/ChiefsKingdom?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#ChiefsKingdom</a> <a href="https://t.co/2tRPpkqWLI">pic.twitter.com/2tRPpkqWLI</a></p>&mdash; Starcade Media (@StarcadeMediaKC) <a href="https://twitter.com/StarcadeMediaKC/status/1751784320346243255?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 29, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

I think Andy mentioned it in a Press Conf several weeks ago that it would be highly unlikely that Cook could even make it back if they got to the SB

I'm hopeful for Gay and Omenihu. The rest I do not expect.

This is what the bruising from a torn pec looks like..

Well, Thuney's yellow bruise is the exact same shape as this dude's red one... I'm sure there are varying degrees, but that doesn't exactly slam the door on the torn pec discussion.

That purple titty came to mind right as I was scrolling down to see exactly that.

Charles said he's playing, but hopefully that wasn't just the adrenaline talking.

Luckily, for us, SF's pass rush is not nearly as lethal as Baltimore's. They have Bosa and that's pretty much it. If we handle him, Mahomes will have all the time in the world to throw.

Meltzer will be giving the Super Bowl 5 stars after a heroic performance from Thuney

Oh, and there's this


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Adam Schefter says Joe Thuney is actually dealing with a torn pec, not just a strained pec.</p>&mdash; Josh Chavis (@JoshChavis65) <a href="https://twitter.com/JoshChavis65/status/1752025605367906586?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 29, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

If he plays he will have achieved big dick levels in the realm of Aleksandr Karelin...

Well, that's that. poop

I said it in the 49ers thread, I believe, but those rumors were starting to trickle out yesterday morning. A 2nd opinion found more tearing and that's why he was ruled out on Saturday (as opposed to Gay, who they let try it out on Sunday).

Prince Tega Wanogho could make a return. Haven't heard much on him, but we will be down an offensive linemen, so it could make sense.

League circles agree that Skyy Moore and Kadarius Toney will still be hurt and limited in two weeks. These two players are so important to the Chiefs they dont want to risk further reinjury and sabotage their careers.

The 49ers D is not the Ravens, Allegretti can handle them, Bosa is a top level player.

Armstead has declined, Hargrave is a bit of a one trick pony.

Sad but true.

We may be able to flip Skyy for a 7th to some team that believes they can coach him up, but he’s just not very good. Toney seems like a head case that Andy and Co have lost all patience with so yeah, he’s probably played his last snap in the NFL.

If Skyy and Toney are healthy, you can probably draw up a play for each. They both had TD's in the Super Bowl last year.

Just don't rely on them as consistent targets (duh)

Luckily we are in a pretty good cap situation. Our cap situation compared to other top teams...man we are ready to fly as long as we don't do any stupid contracts.

I'm fairly certain we have a waterboy we can call up from the practice squad. We have all the depth at hydration engineer we need.

ABSOLUTELY NOT. ARE YOU SERIOUS? UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THESE TWO SEE THE FIELD IN THE SUPER BOWL.


It wouldn't surprised me if Mahomes gave the staff some sort of ultimatum that he's not going to throw to these two dumb ****s so don't even dress them. You are just wasting a roster spot.

It would be an awful thing. Truly awful.

How does cutting players in the post-season work? Guys like Sky Moore and Toney. If Toney really did make that IG Live bad mouthing the team, why not cut his ass straight-away and move a PS player up at least?

Is McKinnon 100% out?

I thought there was a chance he could be back by the Super Bowl.

I would love to improve our back up RB position.

I agree it's like picking out what flavor of dog shit you want put on your cereal. But God forbid Rice gets injured I think I'd rather have Moore taking snaps over Hardman.

I think Toney has a shot to make the team out of camp next year as the return guy and occasional gadget player.

Moore I don't even see a role.

Even if it's just for pass blocking.

Clyde was AWFUL in protection yesterday.

No advantage, probably. See if you can get a swap of 7ths for him in the offseason or something.

Upon further review I don't even want to think about what it would look like if Rice got injured so let's just have Rice be healthy and keep Skyy and Toney on the bench.

Chiefs defense in three post-season games:

PPG: 13.7
YPG: 322.7
Passing YPG: 209.7
Rushing YPG: 113 (due entirely to the Bills 182 yard game)
Third Down Convert: 10/25

Niners defense in two post-season games:

PPG: 26.0
YPG: 386
Passing YPG: 227
Rushing YPG: 159 (5.68 ypc)
Third Down Convert: 13/25

If we get Pacheco going and Andy sticks with him it will be hard for the Niners to win.

God no, I wouldn't. At least Mecole has shown he can be serviceable up to a point. Skyy can't do a single ****ing thing.

I would take Skyy’s lack of ability over Toney’s aggressively ****ing up any day

Hardman sucks but he has a track record of being useful here. Skyy Moore had 17 yards in 3 playoff games last year and has lost games singlehandedly for us this year.

Mecole Hardman has an elite trait, speed, Moore has none.

:LOL: Ok, now that is funny.

Don't the guys who end the season on IR get to participate in rookie minicamp? Skyy needs more camp!

It blows my mind that this is the body of a perennial all pro NFL position player.

Whatever happened to jerick McKinnon? Tired of seeing CEH miss blocks and run for no gain

Basically the same thing Mecole did. Really ****ed himself up. Likely done here forever.

But beer makes everything better.

This

Prototypical Guard Bod:thumb:

I would consider bringing Toney back to camp next season since no team is going w to want to trade, but only if he is brought in as a fullback.

Which GAMES did Moore lose single-handedly for us this year?

McKinnon?? CEH constantly picked up the wrong guy yesterday

Yes.

I’m don’t trust MVS. Kudos on the last two games, but he’s still unreliable.

Clyde did manage to get 1/ypc.

Can we kill two birds with one stone here?

Wouldn’t you want to put him on ir and steal someone from another teams practice squad and/or promote someone else from the PS.

Great year hes had avg 3.2 ypc and whiffing blocks in the playoffs

I have guard bod. Why am I not in the NFL?

Surgery for torn core muscle and they found a fracture in his pelvis. Not coming back for SB

He's too mistake-prone to even do those limited roles.

And also he'll never practice consistently... always will be injured.

Time to move on.
