All the lcl does is keep the knee from buckling outward. He might need/want to wear a brace for awhile.

Like many ligament injuries a lot of recovery is mentally trusting it.

Has he walked it off yet?

[BuckeyeTheDog]

Im not giving up hope for a second return this year- including “surprising progress.”

lets see.

I will never understand why people switched so quickly to thinking a 27 year old is washed because he had 1 bad season with a franchise that has been wasting talent nonstop since Brady left.

We do not need to trade for a WR.

[Chief Pagan]

He was familiar with KC's offense, KC desperately needed WR's, and KC didn't even make him an offer? Probably because of concerns about his knee.

He couldn't even get on the field on a team that desperately needed WR help.

And now we should expect him to be a reliable WR all the way through the post season?

Great if it happens.

I'm taking the under.

Juju doesn't have 2 complete knees. He's an injury waiting to happen. We need another WR.

Veach didn’t offer Hunt in FA either who obviously also isn’t washed.

Maybe we shouldn’t go off Bill B not playing a player at the one position he’s well known for sucking at evaluating talent at?

[Womble]

So he good?

His knees are shot. With the workload he had this past Monday he's probably still sitting in the same icebath he was in after the game.

Patriots 3 years 25.5 million was part of why he wasn't a Chief
16 million guaranteed

It might be that said 27 year old receiver had been in steady decline since 2019 and had knees in such bad shape in his lone season here that he was being load-managed in the post-season.

If you can get occasional heavy load days from him (either before or after long weeks, in all likelihood) and then get maybe 30 productive snaps from him in an ordinary week, you're in nice shape.

Yes, we absolutely do need to trade for a WR. JJSS can't handle this kind of workload for even consecutive weeks, let alone the 12 straight weeks we have to play to end the season.

And Kelce's old as well so you can't go asking him to take all that contact every week.

Those two guys cannot be the focal point of an offense that is probably gonna throw the ball 35+ times/gm most weeks.

Yes, we need another wide receiver. Badly.

They definitely showed their hand. 3 WR’s only get significant snaps? Jody Fortson signs the week of and gets a catch and plays significant snaps?

Yeah. They don’t trust Skyy anymore. Remigio and Ross are after thoughts and they know they can’t put everything on Juju/Kelce while Worthy comes up to speed.

I’m really confident they’re trading for someone

The two-way Patriot way is up for the bye
