Omenihu Tore His ACL

[Third Eye]

Damn, didn't want to see this.

#Chiefs pass rusher Charles Omenihu suffered a torn ACL vs the #Ravens, sources tell @BleacherReport.

Omenihu was a huge part of KC’s defensive surge, recording 7 sacks and 2 FF in 11 games — and had a strip sack on Lamar Jackson that resulted in a turnover vs Baltimore.

If things don’t go off normal track, he probably regains his full form right about when the playoffs start next year. Maybe plays at Thanksgiving, but it’s gonna take a bit to be his true self yeah.

Just saying Purdy is a better QB than Jimmy

Yeah this is not a forgone conclusion, despite what Clay might have you believing. That's still a good team over there and Purdy has done nothing but put together postseason success since he's started.

The guys that will make or break us against SF should be ready and at full gallop.

Injuries won't determine the outcome.

Any injury can determine an outcome of the game. Will it? Probably not. But it absolutely can.

Picking Felix looks big now. One sack or big play and it's an A+ pick early.

We forget that Mahomes had that toe injury for that one too. It’s gets lost because he was Superman behind a garbage OL full of backups.

Allegretti is more than capable at LG for this game. Willie Gay should be back.

We’ve been playing without Cook long enough and been really good regardless.

Our injury situation isn’t great obviously, but that part worries me little.

If injuries pile up in this game, sure that’s an issue. That could go either way though.

Is cook out for sure? Also have the whiners got any injuries

I think Rice has clearly been playing through some shit and to have him feeling a lot better would be huge. Again, our team needs this week off more than SF did.

KC had a lot of dudes on the injury list heading into Baltimore game. Rice & Pacheco are two examples on offense that will hopefully be in better shape for this next game. I would throw Kelce in there too, knowing his injury issues this season and his age. Extra rest is good for him.

On defense, Chris Jones has not looked 100% healthy. Obviously it would be nice if Willie Gay can make it back on the field. McDuffie, Sneed, & Josh Williams were on the injury report before the Baltimore game. How about Mike Edwards and Derrick Nnadi? Hopefully all these guys will be feeling a lot better for this next game.

So yeah we agree on the bulk of it here, both teams strengths and weaknesses have basically flipped

My money is on KC of course, but anyone expecting anything other than another nailbiter - even against Mr Irrelevant - are likely to be let down, we'll have to keep scrapping until the bitter end again IMO

Yeah I’m expecting offense to come out clicking and then stall again. It would be pure orgasm for this game to be the exception but that’s what i expect.


I do think Purdy is kind of an Enigma. Sure he looks good in some games but he hasn’t been on this stage before. The biggest one against the best QB on the other side. Yes he had an amazing game last night but he also layed an egg against the ravens

I think he knew it when he got injured. That's why he was so mad.

It’s a 6-9 month injury. He can be back by the first game

AP tore his ACL dec 26 2021 and came back and started game 1 2012

I think you are about 8 games too soon for his return.

I know, I’m saying it probably won’t be until the playoffs next year that he’s full strength.

Also AP tore his ACL late Dec 2011 was back by the first game 2012. Won the MVP
