But not a reason to waste an early draft pick on his temporary replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that we should get lower-cost depth rather than devote significant resources to replacing him just for the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on how severe and how he heals up etc. Some have come back before 6 months, some take the whole 9 months and then some. He is young and I am hoping for the 6th month time frame. More like 9 months is the norm for a football player. There may have been athletes who have returned before 6 months, but I've never seen it in football.

I may be forgetting the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterson did his MCL and ACL in around 10 and then led league in rushing etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What makes you think he won't be as good? He's not a 100% next season. that's why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody thought Mahomes would be back as quick as he was. Nobody thought JJ Watt would play again this year. Let's see what happens before we right him off.

We got 5 months until the draft and we will know a lot more then and I think players are gonna want to come play here and we could sign a few prove it deals to supplement depth without blowing a draft pic.

Exactly. If they think there’s a short term problem, they will find a short term solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if he never got hurt, we play 3 safeties and only have 2. Dan is over paid and under performs so I would like to let home walk. Lucas and Watts need to show that they deserve to be one of the 3 or we need to get a safety. Just my opinion. Dan has lined up at the Will a lot. We play a S there a much as we play a LB. probably more. I think a good S gives us more snaps than a good Will. Assuming Spags keeps this approach and it wasn’t just because we sucked at Will LB.

Even with Thornhill possibly out for part of next season, they aren't in critical shape there. I think a top LB that can cover will be the best solution to improving the D along with a cover CB. Even if Breeland comes back, there is primary need there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mloe68 1,521 Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 James Palmer ✔@JamesPalmerTV Expectation is for #chiefs S Juan Thornhill to be ready for the start of the season. When he gets going during training camp is still TBD. I’m told his ACL injury actually turned out to be in better shape than expected when the surgery actually happened.
