sith13 1,746 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Just saw the link to this on Yahoo. Since Dirty Dan took up one designation before the final cuts I'm wondering if they wanted to keep the last spot instead of sending "day-to-day" Berry to IR. Also LDT coming back for the playoffs would be a huge boost but not sure how realistic it is for a big guy to return to NFL soon after getting the cast off.

dksww 484 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Hard to say at this point. I guess since they haven't officially for sure said he's out for the year, then it's possible he could come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Wasn't the talk at the time of the injury something like eight weeks? Maybe he can start practicing soon after the bye and play against the Ravens and Seahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkuenn 3,597 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 It was not just a broken left though? I thought he tore up his knee too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 We just need him to get some reps that last game leading into the playoffs so he still has 6 more weeks to get better. Would be awesome to get him and Berry back for that last game to knock some rust off and give us a big boost heading into the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Berry may have more than one game's worth of rust on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need to see Berry after the bye week or else I'm going to have little confidence he can add much in pass defense this year. I do think his physical presence as an in the box safety vs the run would be noticable pretty quick though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artsy 1,137 Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 If Berry doesn't start practicing during the bye, I think it would be safe to say that he aint comin back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liquidfriend 1,151 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Berry won't start practicing for another month, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think so as well, plus the later in the season it gets how much will he help us in crucial games if he's rusty.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 I think the way we have played this year has given the staff the ability to sit him. I look for him to come back the last week or two to knock off rust and then he will play through pain throughout the playoffs then have the surgery he should have had at the beginning of the season. Crazy to think we might miss a SB window because of a freak broken leg and a bad call on an injury. Had both been different we would have seen Earl Thomas and Eric Berry roam the backend these last couple weeks. With the way the rest of the D has been rounding into form our D could actually be a scary good unit. Ifs and butts..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source tells me the #Chiefs expect LDT back within a month, putting him potentially on schedule to play against Ravens or Chargers come mid-December.

So does Wiley sit or does someone move to center? Or does Morse come back until his next head knocker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he does not retire then try to sign him to a very manageable contract as depth with us if not let him go. He is done with so many concussions and I rather sign or draft another center.

Just thinking of the remainder of this season if he's cleared to play again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamardirts 2,114 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 We could sure use him this week against that interior pass rush. With that said our Oline overall has played pretty admirably minus this last game. Getting LDT back would be huge and getting Wiley these reps only helps. As to the other issue, we need to find another C this offseason instead of overpaying for Morse. Love his ability but he can't say on the field.

Sounds like they are targetting the playoffs for the full return. Should be a nice boost to the OL if he doesn't have any setbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
