KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- When Spencer Ware was carted off the field during a 2017 preseason game in Seattle with a knee injury, the Chiefs didn't know if they would ever see the running back play for them again.
The damage in his right knee was that severe. This was no common ACL tear. Ware instead had a torn posterior cruciate ligament and suffered damage to the posterolateral corner of his knee.
The Chiefs at the time thought it might be the end of a career that saw Ware lead the team in rushing in 2016 with 921 yards.
