Chiefs Joe Thuney still out with pec injury. Should we be concerned? - Page 4

Joe Thuney is still out with a pec injury and isn’t going to practice at all throug minicamp and OTA’s. As far as we know he didn’t have surgery so this is a little concerning.

It could be precautionary but then again it has been 5 months since this injury happened. You’d think that would be enough time for a non-surgical injury to heal.

Most concerning part is the workouts in the off-season. If you remember Eric Fisher had a bad arm injury and couldn’t lift much on one side and it affected him badly. Hope that’s not the case here

It was never confirmed if he had surgery

It'd be surprising if he didn't unless it was just a muscle tear and in that case he should be fine by now.

This. It was always going to be like this.

BJ Thompson will start training camp on the NFI list, per Coach Reid. He added that Thompson is doing great, but still going through some procedures.

Jaylen Watson, Charles Omenihu, Derrick Nnadi and Joe Thuney will probably begin camp on the PUP list, per Reid.

I can see Nourzad starting the year at LG. Thuney comes back after 6 games or so and he goes to the bench. Morris still swing tackle.

Would be nice to get a head start on replacing both guards next year.

I would think it would be more likely to be Wanya over Nourzad.
