Chiefs’ Eric Fisher had shoulder, hernia surgeries

[Dante84]

The first overall pick in last year’s NFL draft is recovering from two different offseason surgeries.

Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Fisher had a procedure on his shoulder and a procedure to repair a hernia, coach Andy Reid confirmed today at his press conference at the start of Kansas City’s offseason program.

Fisher started 13 games as a rookie but was disappointing as the Chiefs’ right tackle. Nonetheless, Reid has said he expects Fisher to be the starting left tackle this year, replacing the departed Branden Albert.

If Fisher is healthy and looks as good as the Chiefs thought he would be when they drafted him last year, the Chiefs have their franchise left tackle in place for years to come. If Fisher continues to struggle, questions will be raised about whether the Chiefs made a mistake when they made him the top pick in the draft.

It's here somewhere in the archives. Not gonna waste my time looking. I'm sure many here remember it too. Don't want your petty cash.

Think about this though:

Fisher, Allen, Hudson, Johnson and Stephenson vs:

From Arizona: Calais Campbell, Washington (because they blitz him so damn much), Dockett, and Acho

From SF: A. Smith (if he's not suspended), J. Smith, Ray MacDonald, Ahmad Brooks

From St. Louis: Robert Quinn, Michael Brockers, Chris Long

The Seatle rotation.

From NYJ: Wilkerson and Richardson with anyone who lines up next to those two.

From Buffalo: Mario Williams, Kyle Williams, Marcel Dareus, and Jerry Hughes

I'm going to be concerned about our OL until I see them pass the first big test.

If our OL can block SF and St. Louis and not allow more than 1 or 2 sacks, I'll be a lot less worried.

I wrote an article that involved a lot of wordy praise about a good scrimmage he had. That's all.

Eat me.

So Fisher found out he had a hernia the week of our playoff game. That must be why he was a healthy scratch.
