OT: KC Injuries To Keep An Eye On

[RobertWeathers]

Yikes! Beyond Maclin these guys are pretty banged up too.

Ware didn't practice today either (ankle) and both Houston and Hali are nicked up

Injuries may be greater concern for Kansas City Chiefs than New England Patriots

I read that Maclin is walking around with no limp. I don't think his injury is as bad as it looked.

Glad he is ok. Hope he doesn't play.

Unfortunately, he most likely will, and won't be affected by the injury all that much.

Walking around is nothing compared to making cuts, running routes etc.

 

[Todd Bradley]

Remember when Gronk didn't have a limp before Super Bowl XLVI? How'd that work out for us?

Having no limp means zero. He's got a high ankle sprain. Having that as a WR or TE is pretty much a death blow.

I understand the diagnosis to be a mild HAS but I'm reserving judgement here until I see him play. There could be some gamesmanship going on here.

True, he won't be 100%. But very few (or none, more likely) guys are 100% this time of year. But I don't foresee him being affected as much as some here think and hope.

Wasn't Gronk in a walking boot? From all reports, Maclin's injury isn't anywhere near as serious.

Yes and IIRC he needed surgery.

"My husband cannot f*****ing throw and catch the ball at the same time."

Thats the only thing humorous about that entire game. A Brazilian supermodel going on a tirade and ripping this dork reporter a new one.

You don't get a boot for an ACL which I believe is what he has. Again, the diagnosis on the field on ACLs is correct.

He was talking about 2011 when Pollard fell on Gronk's ankle in the 2011 AFCCG

I still can't believe Mankins played half a season with a torn ACL.

 

[SHOWTIME15]

He was diagnosed on the field with an ACL but they later said he had a high ankle sprain. Now he had no limp but isn't practicing? Gamesmanship for sure .

I'd still put Butler on him one on one and focus safety help elsewhere until Maclin proves he's healthy enough to beat Butler one on one. I don't think Maclin is going to be anywhere near 100% on that ankle.

If was referring to Maclins miraculous 3 day recovery from a torn ACL. May be a minor tear but still a tear of some sort. You don't get a boot for that.

It seems like he has an ACL tear and the Chiefs are playing mind games.

 

[Sicilian]

He hasn't practiced yet this week, right? I know there's two more days but that can't be a good sign.
