I'd say a hamstring injury that keeps you out this long was already super serious. But also not so serious that he's going to have long term effects and it sounds like the healing process is nearly over.

BWillie is just nervous. He pulled a hammy in his brain and has never recovered.

Any news on this guy at all?

EDIT:

I see McDuffie designated to return and both he and Butker practiced today. Hope they're ready to go but I wouldn't be shocked if they arent.

Honestly, I just want him to be right and for him to trust the hammy.

This is the game we drafted McDuffie for. We traded up to steal him from the Bills.

This game is HUGE. It will likely determine home field advantage for the playoffs.

We need McDuffie out there, in fact we will probably use all the DBs against this team. They are a very pass happy team and have lit us up!

Hopefully McD was healthy a week ago but they saved him for THIS game!

GO CHIEFS!

After four weeks off his feet, Kansas City Chiefs rookie cornerback Trent McDuffie returned to the practice field on Wednesday. McDuffie hurt his hamstring in the team’s opening game against the Arizona Cardinals, which led to a stint on injured reserve.

Technically speaking, McDuffie practicing on Wednesday opens up a 21-day window in which the Chiefs can activate him, but it sounds as though the team is optimistic he can return this week.

“We’ll see,” said head coach Andy Reid of McDuffie’s possible return. “He’s been rehabbing and we’ll just see how he does. He’s been going full speed with his rehab. We’ll see how he does working back in.”

McDuffie’s availability comes at a good time for the Chiefs, as veteran cornerback Rashad Fenton missed Wednesday’s workout with his own hamstring issue. After suffering a concussion in the game against the Las Vegas Raiders, rookie safety Bryan Cook was unavailable to practice. Cornerback and special-teamer Chris Lammons missed the session with a hip issue. And after tearing his ACL on Monday, defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton is expected to be placed on injured reserve later this week.


In addition to McDuffie practicing on Wednesday, kicker Harrison Butker (left ankle) and right guard Trey Smith were also able to get some work in. Like McDuffie, Butker hasn’t played since Week 1. Smith missed the Chiefs’ last game due to an issue with his pectoral muscle.

The Chiefs will release their first injury report of Week 6 later on Wednesday afternoon. Under league rules, it won’t include a status for McDuffie, since he technically remains on the injured reserve list.

Damn. Are we hoping for misdirection with this story?

No, they're being smart and waiting until he's 100% ready to return. No point in bringing him back for a regular season game if there's a possibility he could reinjure the hamstring.
[Reply]

If he doesn't play tomorrow, then I would assume he's not coming back before the bye. I'm good with it if they feel he needs the time, but damn it would be nice to have him with Fenton and Cook hurting.
[Reply]

Hmm. I would love to see him back in time for SF
[Reply]

This has almost always been the way Reid does it.

When he thinks they're ready to go...he waits one more week.

The chiefs have slow played injuries pretty much as long as Reid has been here.
[Reply]

Which is what should be done. No need to rush a guy back for a regular season game and have them get hurt and be out the rest of the season.
[Reply]

Maybe.

But without McDuffie AND Fenton, you're all but giving up on defense.
[Reply]

So. He good? Or nah?
[Reply]

Yep. Things could get ugly quickly and stay that way.
