Two keys injuries in the Front Seven
Bad news came down from the Chiefs on Thursday. Jaye Howard was placed on Injured Reserve and Dontari Poe was unable to practice. Howard has battled an injury, but the team elected to place him on IR, effectively ending his season. He is eligible to return on Jan 25th, but that is a very long shot. the Poe injury will likely mean that is going to be unavailable against the Falcons.
Youth on Defensive line critical
Defensive Coordinator Bob Sutton was asked on Thursday about the group’s effort and performance. he responded “I loved what they did. They just went in there, and they played hard, and tough and played with some energy – just what you’re driving at. You have to just really appreciate these guys. They weren’t even here a couple of weeks ago. They just went in. Kind of what I was just saying, they didn’t even blink an eye. They didn’t think about it. We didn’t think about it. They did, to me, a really nice job. They’re highly competitive, and you couldn’t ask more for those guys. They played a lot plays because of the way the game went and that type of thing. Just really happy at what they did. I think Britt [Reid] did a good job getting them ready. That kind of effort is going to help you anytime.”
