Iluvhouse24 1,808 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 Time to put your big boy pants on. Let us not forget he was a 4th rounder and was a pretty darn good starter in college. I hope he shows up and minimizes the Thornhill loss. The idea of Sorenson getting more snaps is terrifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefsFoolFan 149 Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 We’ll see what the prognosis is on Thornhill. Andy said they’d know more tomorrow. I think someone posted in the game day thread that Eric berry tweeted an interest in playing with the Chiefs. SEMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be extremely surprised if it isnt a ligament tear. I bet we dont see him back until midseason. I dont think there sany way he doesnt start the season on PUP if its ACL or MCL.

As much as I liked Berry, he needs to permanently retire and then look at coaching if he wants to stay in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would be willing to start a gofundme to keep eric berry away from the team though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had Berry’s injury before & knew he was done in early 2017 when it happened. You can come back from that shit, but it’s always a risk to occur again.

Troyofoc 361 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Don't want anything to do with berry. There's a reason nobody has picked him up. Health or dare I say he won't play for what's been offered. He has made a killing on Hunts bank account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sith13 1,746 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We'll probably find a way to take care of it in the short term but definitely need another long term option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He made a solid tackle on one of the 4th downs that I thought had Gordon short of the sticks. The bye week will help Spags work out the loss of Thornhill. My guess is though Kendall Fuller will take Thorhills' FT FS role/spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the hot mess at Safety last season was without Watts and without HB and also without Spags devising a role for Fuller there. So my point was that if Thornhill is out for part of next season, the Chiefs can focus on other positions of need and not prioritize the safeties. qnet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reesebobby 5,662 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Confirmed ACL. Sucks for him to get to the playoffs and have to watch. Good season for a rookie safety. I hope he has a speedy recovery. SEMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any player can step up the question is at what level? Thornhill is a top ten safety. Not too many teams have a top ten safety on the bench. Thornhill will be missed.
