That fucking sucks for this to show up out of the blue during practice
On the other hand it couldn't have happened at a better time. We've got games coming up where we can win without him. Clinch homefield so we don't need to rush him back. Hopefully get him a game or 2 so he doesn't show up to the playoffs like a ball of rust (I don't want to repeat last year where he lost his confidence kicking at 80%) [Reply]
Not ideal but not a big deal either. Would love to have him this week but if we need a great kicker to beat the Panthers and Raiders, meh anyway. [Reply]

But at least it's only the next 3-4 weeks and not the playoffs.
Practice squad guy must have mixed feelings about playing for KC. [Reply]
Step 1: Kick the ball out of the back of the end zone on kickoffs.
Step 2: Make your XPs
Step 3 ??????????
Step 4: Collect a Super Bowl ring at the end of the season. [Reply]
