Will feel a lot better when we know what is or isn't up with Taron.

Agree. Rasul and Taron are the most important players by far on the injury report. If we have those two playing I’d feel a lot better about our chances. If not, it’s gonna be a long game for the defense.

Meniscus tear is probably good news right? Isnt it common for guys to play through those?

Sure is as long as the swelling isn’t bad

McD just listed the entire list as day to day at his presser.  I’ll take it, if anyone looks to be out for the year he says so.  


The one that scares me is Taron Johnson in CP.  It’s the second time this season.  IIRC, he exited protocol fairly early.  Hopefully that happens again.

mcD did not go into details - he just gave the list and said Bernard has an ankle, will see how it goes.   The presser should be posted shortly.  I believe Wawro interjected “so all day to day” after the long list and McD concurred but I can’t recall exactly how it was all phrased.   After milano and dequans cart-level injuries he said “does not look good” the day after.  He did not say that for Bernard.

That’s how it was last week with the injuries.

 

The reporter said - so all in the day to day bucket, and McDermott said yes.

Doesn't mean they won't have guys drop like flies during the game tho as we have seen the last few weeks...

 

Players are always overly optimistic about their ability to play...it's the trainers that sometimes need to "save players from themselves" in those ways. Likely would have been a prime candidate to re-injure during the game if he played. The extra rest and treatments should allow for much lower chances of that.

 

I never see that happen with them.  Have you?  I agree that it should happen from time to time; every team goes through it once in a while, but they do not.  

 

And when someone does go down, they are back in a series or two.  Rashee Rice went down against Miami and was back in a couple series.

 

Meanwhile, Miami must have had at least 3-4 players go down during the game.

 

On a side note, the fact that I found myself passionately rooting for Miami in that game was a realization of how deep my hatred for KC has become 😆 So admittedly, that factors into my bitterness on this subject, but either way, it remains a fact.  Since Mahomes entered the league, I don't remember KC dealing with any "significant" injuries on their entire team in the playoffs except for Honey Badger.  And the fact that it's just ONE GUY over 7 playoff runs is just.... 🤦‍♂️ forget it

Word from reporters, so it wasn't just a fever dream

 

 

 

 

That is AWESOME news on Bernard.

 

However, I did not see Taron Johnson on that list.

 

Wouldn't he technically be day-to-day, as well?

 

Or did he not have a concussion?
