Chiefs Veach: Fisher Projected as a Mid-August Return - Page 2

**SAGA45** · 03-01-2021, 03:01 PM

This was from Veach's zoom presser this morning in response to Sam Mellinger following up on a previous response by Veach where he said Mahomes, Schwartz and Fisher were all expected back by August.

When asked, Veach referred again to his notes from Rick (Burkholder) that stated Fisher is projected as a "mid-August return".

Veach then went on to clarify that there's obviously other variables that could impact that but as far as the information he had in front of him from Rick and the medical staff, mid-August is the projection.

Now, Fisher will probably be put on PUP list to start the season but still, this is phenomenal news considering many were expecting Fisher to miss the 2021-22 season entirely.

I’ll be very surprised if he plays before mid October

I think if they're both healthy that's fantastic.

maybe it wasn't a complete tear? Like not severed? And so it's a repair as opposed to a reconstruction?

If we really get Schwartz and Fisher back and Tardiff returns and Niang is a guard for this year, would be draft a center? Or maybe draft another guard to tackle conversion like we are planning with Niang?

Or just keep with our strategy of Olinement on day 3... man I cant wait for the draft.

They're almost certainly going to restructure Fisher to get his cap hit down. I wouldn't be surprised if it extends him long-term as well.

If we really had both tackles we could just add more firepower as well as OL and DL depth.

Then again, we were already listed as the Super Bowl favorites for next year before this news.

Personally, I think both of them being fully healthy is pretty unlikely but if the Chiefs think they'll be ready, I can accept that.

This is my thinking and why their projection. But I will say this again, you can't protect your Lamborghini QB with a carport.

You don't need 2 garages for just one car, either.

And Chris Brown, who lived up the street from me for years, parked both of his Lambo's in his driveway.

That home does not have a car port.

I think we definitely do because our Lamborghini is Mahomes

But I get your point.

Protect the investment. **** the injury projections. Get younger at the tackle position and plan for worst-case scenario. If they don’t, they learned nothing from the Superbowl beatdown.

What do you think Lucas Niang is? The Chiefs are years ahead of you. They couldn’t project Covid.
