FANATIC 852 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Chiefs OLB Dee Ford is being checked for a concussion. The Chiefs fear Ford suffered a brain injury in Sunday's win. Kansas City will head to Houston for the Wild Card Round, with the game set for Saturday at 4:35PM ET. Ford will be in a race to get ready if he's diagnosed with a concussion. The good news is Justin Houston (knee) is tentatively expected back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calichief 3,016 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 And Abdullah back too. Plays like that one branch allowed won't happen to Abdullah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WichitaZRide 321 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Seriously....it honestly feels like we have 2 players a week either confirmed as concussed or going through concussion protocol. On that note....I'm really concerned about Morse. That's two concussions for him this season and he's just a rookie... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is hard to believe that in 2016 some Inventor has not created a better helmet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I don't see how getting one at Center would be any less common than another spot in the line. Dudes bang heads around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCSLC2008 606 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I saw a game where a guy lowered his helmet when he approached a defender and had to come out due to a concussion. I know they teach you to lower your head, as it is more effective and perhaps a neck injury is perceived as worse than a concussion in some ways, but they sometimes look stupid to do so. It's like, you weren't getting any more yards and you could have gone down in another way. But I know, they are experienced, they are taught, how the defender is going to tackle you isn't obvious, especially from their vantage point. It just seemed like he, as a runner, was using it as a weapon for no yards and no reason to think he'd get more yards. And he got hurt. Just like boxing, I don't understand the sport when they run around not throwing punches. I know it's all about anticipation and strategy, but my inner self is like, "throw the punch already!" I know they do it for a reason and are professional, but it's hard for laymen to be patient with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
