Probably because we lack NFL WRs and Veach has an understanding of his medicals and they're okay with it?

Are you guys kidding me? If you told me his leg were amputated on the way to KC, I'd still be happy about this trade.

I’m pretty sure Veach made Rick Burkholder look into his current health situation before making the trade. Rick eventually gave Veach the nod to make the trade.

Yes. It just depends on the severity.

Hopkins had 70+ catches and 1,000+ yards receiving on a bad Tennessee offense last year.

It he’s still even 80% of that same player, he is a massive upgrade over any WR currently on the Chiefs active roster.

Better than Amari Cooper.

He was slow starting this year with the MCLwas expected to be slow the first 6 to 8 weeks but from what I've seen NOW is when he was just expected to start cooking and is good to go.

lol..if he is on one leg he still would be better than Skyy.

In all seriousness though just a little concerned about trading for an injured WR when we have 3 already. That is why I wasn't excited about Cupp either. But we are in desperate need of help so I get it I guess. Pray he stays healthy.

My guess would be Juju to IR is the move for now.

He wasn’t listed on Tennessee’s injury report last week.
