Chiefs Jared Wiley [tore his ACL] in practice Friday - Page 5

**** me is this shit ever gonna end?

Chiefs TE Jared Wiley suffered a knee injury in practice Friday. We will get an update from Andy Reid around 1 p.m. but my understanding is that it’s a significant injury.

Wiley is the second tight end Chiefs have lost this week after Jody Fortson torn his ACL vs Raiders.

Welp, I guess we aren't running much if any 13P for awhile.

He's been disappointing. I thought he may play a role in the passing game.

Oh well

Maybe Andy is working them too hard like Schottenheimer use to.

The rules don't allow that these days.

So he's on the Travis Kelce time frame.

Is there really any conditioning you can do to prevent ACL tears seems like usually they're from moving or falling weird

Maybe call the knees over toes guy?

Time for Hendy.

He has kind of a cool name anyway.

If that will help to ease the pain.

Frees up a roster spot for someone who may actually contribute. We had too many TE's anyway.

Feel for him, it sucks, and who knows how it would have panned out this season...but yeah, he's contributed almost nothing in the passing game. Hope he comes back stronger but this year he's a bystander.

There was a thread before the season began on what it would take to three peat and the biggest obstacles.

I said we would be our own obstacle and second but more serious were injuries.

This was my biggest fear and at just 7 games in, we have been crushed by major players with major injuries.

We really need a break heading into the last 10 regular season games.

Hoping for the injury bug to be cured..
