No bone damage / structural issues. I’d guess muscle isn’t x-ray able?

Let's just hope he's not day to day

Anything soft tissue requires an MRI.

We need Schwartz back  desperately 

True, but lets be honest, he wasn't playing very well before he got hurt.

But we don't know if he was playing hurt already which would explain a lot. There are very few RT I would take over him. Plus who knows how paranoid he was about the RG next to him.

I thought Wylie played better than Fisher. 

I thought Wylie was decent at tackle.  Maybe he can be a swing tackle moving forward?

You're right but I was more referring to Reid's comment.  They can often take X-rays immediately and that shows certain things.  MRIs are usually next day if necessary for muscle / ligaments / etc.

I'm not sure how "just getting twisted up in the splits" matches with him not being able to put any weight on it.  Someone on Twitter (I think it was there and not here) suggested a dislocated hip?

[Holmes4six! 968]

So who do we have as RB?

bell, williams and Thompson ?

pretty sure that was precautionary

if it was really bad, they would have driven him to the locker room on a cart

[AFCWEST 1,238]

It didn’t take long for the Chiefs to announce Edwards-Helaire as doubtful to return.

After the game, head coach Andy Reid said that Edwards-Helaire got “twisted up” and revealed that x-rays were negative.

Running backs Le’Veon Bell and Darrel Williams will have to make up for the absence of Edwards-Helaire.

his catch in the endzone was awesome

the throw was awesomer

No doubt, but I want him on the field over Robison.

and zero pressures/sacks

only one to get to brees was sneed

They need to self evaluate. That effort will not get it done in the playoffs 

[DefensiveMan 758]

Run defense has been much better.

Are you kidding me right now? Dude he was putrid today.

What i was saying too on the other thread. He was pushed back easily into Mahomes space. Beaten easily in an outside rush or dipped to the inside. They even used the rb to chip most of the first half if it, it seemed.

Two biggest needs are OL and coverage LB (another Gay-type, except who, you know, actually plays) and I'm not sure it's close.

Its absolutely close. DE is a huge need for this team. Regardless of what they invested in Clark and Jones financially they still need consistent pressure from the other DE spot.

Wylie was terrible today. Theres no debate to be had. He was absolutely abused. 

[Adamixoye 604]

Yeah protection looked weak from both tackle spots.  Like Romo said, Wylie's best play might have been getting Cam Jordan kicked out.

I agree our line is underperforming, but our pass rush was pretty good last year?  I just feel like we have the athletes and maybe it's fixable without dumping additional resources into it.  To be clear, maybe.

Whereas our OL and LBs just are physically inferior and get routinely worked over.  So I'd much rather fix those positions and hope for the best on the DL.

Ogbah played great last year and Okafor was much more effective rushing the passer last year. This year hes a non factor. It has to be addressed. Danna is good depth and thats fine from a 5th rounder. But we need another starter there.

[Adamixoye 604]

So if 3rd-tier free agents (at best) can solve the problem why would we invest draft resources?

To fix it long term at a fraction of the cost. Why would we not? 

[azchief21 5,278]

Great win against a 10-3 team on the road.

[Biggjliv4 1,292]

So who is our worst match up looking forward to the playoffs? We seem to be our own worst enemy for the most part.
