With RB Isiah Pacheco expected to be sideliend 6-8 weeks, the Chiefs are bringing their former RB Kareem Hunt back to Kansas City for a Tuesday visit, per league sources. Hunt could help fill the Chiefs’ running back void. pic.twitter.com/nDzNGlrcuH

I for one was not keen on Hunt being back before. Now that he is on board I would be shocked if he doesn't make the HOF. [Reply]

If that surgery did happen, he's done for the year, right? [Reply]

Come on man, the Kareem redemption story would be a welcome part of a 3Peat season. [Reply]

Lack of production? 11 total TD's is a lack of production? :-) [Reply]

Depends if it’s a higher fracture that need led plate and screws to keep things aligned your looking at the 4-6 most likely but if it’s one that was lower involving ligaments it could be longer , the higher the break the better when it comes to the fibula in general, it’s not a weight bearing bone but mid shaft breaks might need internal fixations , avulsion fracture normally don’t but elite athletes are different but those and malleolus fractures involve ligaments to some extent.
Broken ankle have a shit ton of possibilities the fact it just looks like a fibula is better but again the difference between distal/mid/proximal/avulsion can be pretty big when it comes to treatment/prognosis etc..and surgery on pro athletes doesn’t mean it’s always more severe sometimes they get surgery the average guys wouldn’t. How many times do you hear pros getting surgery for a broken finger . [Reply]
