Kyle Long may miss training camp with leg injury
Kyle Long‘s comeback effort has hit a snag.
NFL Media reports that Long suffered a leg injury that could keep him out through training camp. Initial thoughts were that it would keep him out for the season, but the hope is that Long will be able to return to action before the start of the regular season. Long did not play in 2020 after missing 34 games over his final four years with the Bears due to injury, but signed with the Chiefs as part of their offensive line overhaul this offseason. It looked like Long would be competing for the right guard spot during camp. Laurent Duvernay-Tardif, who is also returning from sitting out the 2020 season, Andrew Wylie and sixth-round pick Trey Smith may now make up the group vying for that spot. https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.co...th-leg-injury/ |

Are you going to tell opposing defenses to please not stunt or run any zone blitzes so as not to confuse our rookie offensive linemen? No, you start LDT at RG in between Humphrey and Niang so you've got one guy there that's seen it all before. |

This could be a blessing in disguise.
All this does is accelerate the development of our rookie guard. Worse case he starts the season on IR or PUP then have him for the second half of the season. Be thankful the Chiefs addressed the O line throughout the draft. |

I'd be fine moving Remmers to guard where he started last year and putting Niang next to him.

well, that's a freak thing, a fractured knee-cap.
The good news there is that Long will probably not be a starter, but is still an experienced and talented depth guy. How long he could play before he gets hurt again is a question, but I like his experience off the bench for spot duty. If LDT or Niang had to miss a game, you wouldn't have a drop-off going to Long. I'd be leery of expecting a full season from him though. |

Sure, if he beats out LDT. I doubt it though, as LDT has a few years in this offense.
But at any rate, you don't want 3 rookies in a row. One missed read and Mahomes gets clobbered. You need at least ONE guy in the middle of that who knows what's going on around him. |

Yeah we all knew “if healthy” was going to be the key with Long. Luckily we have a backup plan or two.

Blythe was brought in to be a C, not a G. Before we annoint Humphrey as the starter, let's see how TC plays out. I'm not saying Creed won't be the starter come Game 1, let's just not start shuffling guys around just yet.

Yeah he was brought in to be center but as soon as we drafted Humphrey in the 3rd round, those plans obviously changed. I don't see how he could be any worse than LDT at RG and the run blocking with him next to Creed, Thuney and Orlando would be insane.

Really hate it for the guy.
LDT or Smith... I personally hope Smith takes it over. |
