Michael Hoecht Achilles Injury (Confirmed torn Achilles out for the year)

[MikePJ76]

there are no words to explain whatever is happening to this defense with injuries. 

 

Never seen anything like it.  Hoecht is now another free agent piece that either gets hurt or flames out for various reasons.  

 

miller got hurt and then was a spare part player, diggs was extremely expensive was a dud in the biggest games of the year and then forced his way off the team.   

 

Now hoecht missed 6 games and is gone for this year and probably most of next year.  Who knows if he will ever be any good in the future, he might end up like miller after his knee injury.  

 

Just crazy stuff.

The moment Hoecht got hurt, KC went for it knowing that their chances of completing a 4th and 17th went up 95%. The defense better realize after this what needs to be done

Going from sitting out a 1/3 of the season  to 110% = not really surprised

what can they do about it now?  Nobody is trading them a difference making defensive player

 

oliver, jones, sanders, carter are hurt at dt.  Its extremely limiting what they can do and today in the dime they used williams and hoecht and it was great.  now that is gone.

If he is out the fact that we had him for just under two games for the whole year is another remarkable setback for what happens to important players on this team, year in and year out.

Lots of soft tissue injuries. Poor conditioning.

The injury happened AFTER that stupid defensive timeout on 4th and 17, didn’t it? Talk about a chain of events.

They need to get Landon Jackson up to speed.

 

No. Just before.

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

This absolutely sucks.  He was making a difference out there.  Suddenly Javon Solomon was getting snaps after Hoecht's exit and you could see the push decrease. 

[BigAl2526]

He may be ready by November 2026.  He played 7 quarters this season.

That timeout (along with the Hoecht injury obviously) tarnished the win for me a bit. An unfortunate reminder that we will probably never be able to make a Super Bowl run because our coach overthinks everything and repeatedly makes the same dumb decisions that cost the team.

This is what happens when you sign injury prone players and play on fake grass. 
 

Hate to say it but only a matter of time before Bosa gets hurt, too. 

 

Another giant pile of crap.

Hoecht has played 4 straight 17 game seasons plus a bunch of postseason games and has never missed a single game in the NFL.

 

[BeastMaster]

LMAO

 

The hyperbole with this guy is off the charts stupid

 

Did he help the defense? Sure 

 

Was he the missing piece that was going to take us to the promised land?

 

Absolutely freaking not

 

 

[H2o]

Yeah, he was balling. This was the first thing I thought of though:

 

Both anabolic steroids (performance-enhancing drugs) and corticosteroids (anti-inflammatory medications) can weaken tendons and ligaments, disrupt collagen structure, and increase the risk of injury or rupture.

I expect a trade for a DT tomorrow.  Higher priority than WR now

They need to get Solomon doing the same exact thing, the stand up rush, spy, drop back might fit him 

No offense but keep dreaming. Hoecht was a wrecking machine. Have you seen Solomon do anything even close to that. If Josh Allen goes down Mitch Trubisky doesn't magically become Josh Allen.

[SC STATE NUPE]

Most definitely have to make a move for a defender now…
