Kyle Long may miss training camp with leg injury

I heard a little bit of Teicher on the radio today explaining how losing Long creates a major question mark along the OL for the Chiefs. I swear that dude has a Haglund’s Deformity on his brain.

A healthy inspired Long could easily challenge for RG or even RT. I have no doubt he could win either of those starting positions and hold them down as long as healthy, but he is glass.

This O-line was embarrassed in the Superbowl and could have severely injured there once in a generation QB. It bordered on malpractice how they handled their interior line. Then their corner tackles broke down and had no reliable depth. No one on the right side of the line is a lock. This offseason proves they knew they had a problem that needed fixing if they wanted to save their once in a generation QB.

It’s definitely a shame. A healthy Long at RG would have been a difference maker. Who knows, maybe he recovers in time to make an impact. Obviously you’re not getting 16 games out of him but he’s easily the best option at RG on paper.

I just feel bad for the guy. He certainly didn’t need to come back for money. He just loves football. He worked his ass off to turn into an athletic freak and then chips his kneecap or some weird shit. Just sucks for everyone.
