kcchief4lif 910 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 While the Kansas City Chiefs recently got good news with Jamaal Charlesreturning to practice (albeit with the scout team), there is some not so good news regarding linebacker Joe Mays and his injured wrist. Adam Caplan reports that Mays' wrist injury will require surgery. I can confirm the report as well. Mays hasn't practiced all week. It's not clear how long it will keep him out, which is obviously what everyone wants to know. It's fair to wonder about the start of the season since that's just a few weeks away on September 7. A quick Google search shows a range of players who played briefly through broken wrists to those who missed a few weeks or more. So we'll just have to see what the Chiefs say. Behind Mays is linebacker Josh Mauga, who was just signed the first week of training camp, and 2013 fourth round pick Nico Johnson. Mauga, who dealt with injuries last week, appears to have the edge in that battle running with the second team over Johnson. You have to wonder if this injury gets Nico Johnson onto the roster as well. This isn't ideal for the Chiefs defense. Mays was brought in this offseason on a 2-year contract and immediately stepped in as the starting inside linebacker next to Derrick Johnson. This will be a step backwards at that position for the Chiefs ... if Mays ends up missing any meaningful time, which we still don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWil 30 Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 This sucks....Mays was playing really well. Muaga or Nico need to step up now, but it will be a downgrade no matter what we do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHard 2,061 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I think JM Johnson should be the front runner for that back up spot IMO. He is very rangy in the limited amount I have seen him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWil 30 Posted August 26, 2014 Share Posted August 26, 2014 word on the streets is that Akeem Jordan is going to be cut by the Redskins because he doesnt fit their scheme. I wouldn't mind bringing him back, he was solid last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
