Don’t panic.
The Kansas City Chiefs are starting to feel the effects of pounding on each other everyday in practice. On Tuesday, trainer Rick Burkholder took the microphone after practice, something that always has bad news right around the corner. Burkholder explained that rookie linebacker Justin March has a torn meniscus, while Allen Bailey and Eric Fisher both have high-ankle sprains.
This is in conjunction with De’Anthony Thomas having a strained calf and Jeff Allen have a sprained MCL. It all seems terrifying, especially when you realize that Donald Stephenson is now starting at left tackle while Laurent Duvernay-Tardif is your new right guard (Zach Fulton is now running with the second-team) and Jarrod Pughsley is at right tackle.
