Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Tyson Jackson left Monday's game against the San Diego Chargers with some sort of leg injury. Chiefs trainers came out and worked on Jackson while Todd Haley watched. Jackson later walked off with the help of the trainers and did not return.
I saw him in the locker room after the game but didn't get a good look at any noticeable injury.
Nick Wright of 610 Sports reports that a MRI confirmed today that Jackson has a sprained MCL. Per Wright, he's expected to miss 1-2 weeks. The Chiefs don't comment on injuries so the only confirmation we'll likely get from this will come from the injury and practice reports.
If that injury sounds familiar, that's because it should. It's same injury that Matt Cassel reportedly suffered in the third preseason game of the 2009 season. He ended up missing the final preseason game and the first regular season game.
When Jackson left the game, it was Shaun Smith that replaced him.
Haley said after the game when asked about defensive Glenn Dorsey that "we are thin there" but I'm going to disagree with him and say that defensive end is one of the few positions the Chiefs can afford an injury. Sure, no injury is easy to handle but the Chiefs can make it through this one, if the report is accurate.

The one perk of an early bye week.

Also, the two teams that we're playing before then
Are power running teams with suspect passing games. Ideal for Smith.
It sucks, because he was looking good. Hopefully Gilberry/Smith can hold down the fort.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
that's fo sho
The Chiefs will finish .500 or better in 2010.

sucks, but not the end of the world
we’ll probably get another look at Magee, or maybe the new NT will be up to speed and we’ll see more Shaun Smith
I LOVED the way Dorsey, Smith and Jackson played, as well as Edwards… a LOT more time in the offensive backfield than last year
this should be the most exciting Chiefs team in years! Most major needs filled with playmakers, and the league's best coaching staff... 10-6 a possibility?

Absolutely
I’m bummed that we don’t get a chance to see Jackson build on that game. He played well.
I think Gilberry can handle the passing downs while Smith can fill in fine for rushing downs.
I love my wife, my kids, and the Chiefs. In that order. Except on game days.
He seemed to be doing well last night
Last night was great on so many levels. Hopefully Tyson will get better and come back with a vengance

Going to be tough next week...

yes, great OL, tough game. It will be so incredibly ugly, but if we can win that turnover battle and stop cribbs..I feel good about our chances of making delhomme throw a few our way

After getting embarrassed by him last year I bet we shut him down.
The kick coverage teams were nearly flawless last night, against a guy who is a really good return man.
Toby is in HR, which technically means he works for corporate, so he's really not a part of our family. Also, he's divorced, so he's really not a part of his family.

did you guys see how well smith and dorsey looked when smith was at NT?
Smith consistently took the double team and Dorsey man handled the one on one to get into the backfield a whole bunch of times.
We have the best DL in the AFC West imo
yep, they did good work
We have the best DL in the AFC West imo
man, that’s a nice thought! hopefully it holds true from here on forward

Yea
All we added was some guy named Romeo Crennel /sarcasm

Addition by subtraction...
good bye Pendergast… goodbye Krumerie…
Instant upgrade to the front 7
Go Chiefs!!!!
Prettiest mutt at the dog show
just saying
smith also brings some serious swagger
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Yes I did
See how well the front 3 did when Shaun Smith was at NT. That’s why the TJax injury is such a bummer. Shaun Smith has to go back to DE to fill that hole and Ron Edwards comes back at NT.

Jackson really was a disruption to the running game
We finally saw some of his potential in last night’s game. I hope he returns from this injury just as strong, it sucks to break that kind of momentum when a player’s been previously struggling.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present...
Cle and SF aren't offensive juggernauts
Throw in the bye the next week. Don’t rush it!
Side note- Watching the game again(dvr does wonders), we need to go ahead and throw away that shotgun delay-draw!
Don't throw it away
just put it in the pocket for a while. It’s good as a surprise, but SD was ready for it, and so will Cleveland.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow a mystery. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present...
I disagree.
SD defended it well. Chiefs were one dimensional so they had our number. Give it some time, it’ll work.
yeah, I think its a great play in certain situations...I was SHOCKED at the lack of screen plays

Team Colquitt
and what about JC and Dex rolling into the flats at the same time.
They killed doing that in preseason.
yeah that too, they had em both in the backfield, was a tad surprising
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
I got tired of seeing it too.
I was really hoping that a Haley-Weis combo would come up with a more exciting (or at least productive) offense. Romeo is looking like the best hire the Chiefs have made by turning the defense around in one offseason. On the other hand, I’m pretty underwhelmed by what I saw from the offense.
remember we're still a major work in progress, that was week 1 with a new offense. new coaches...It will take time just like the D, and usually the D is ahead of the offense at this point
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Oh I agree
I know it was probably only 2% of the playbook, that one just irritated the hell outta me last night!
Understood
But I really thought Haley and Weis would bring something new and exciting. I was looking forward to the birth of an entirely new type of offense, or at least something similiar to what’s being run in New Orleans. I realize it was one game in the rain and wind, but I didn’t see anything (other than JC being JC) that made me say “wow, where’d that come from?”
may have to do with wet weather...fumble worries...
Im not saying thats how I would do it but…its possible it was a protection thing
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Right about the time the crowd started grumbling... That was when it was obvious they were TOO conservative.
"I ain't lyin' 'bout nothin'."
"Oh? So what exactly are you lying about?"
Yet they tried to score at the end of the first half, up by 14.
That surprised me. I just assumed they would try to run out the clock.
We saw so little because
The Chiefs had what, 10 3 and outs? Those 3 and outs take away a ton of carries from Charles and TJ. Both could of easily had 15-20 carries if we’d go on multi play drives

last night wasnt about being exciting though, the gameplan was to not turn it over, not make mistakes...that required conservative playcalling

Its much easier to run an O like the saints when you have the QB they do,
unfortunately we have Cassel who isn’t near the QB Brees is.
Don't blame me, I voted for content of character.
Was really surprised that we didn't see the hurry-up though.
That was the best weapon at the end of last year and worked well in pre-season. Not sure why they didn’t use it last night.
Playoff predictions? Really? From 4 wins?
Obviously its a bummer
BUT
Jackson looked SO MUCH BETTER as a player.
I cant wait for his return
in the meantime it gives magee a chance to prove he belongs on the active roster each week

this could have been so much worse...I am so happy that he will be back after the bye week.

Hey UP.
Read your comments over at the Bolts. Thanks for representing us as championship fans. Very classy stuff. Good job and atta boy. (for what it’s worth)
thank you, 40 ... but I was not alone
had many other very classy APers over there as well, as I’m sure you noticed … and it was easy seeing as how the Chargers fans were totally classy and respectful themselves
sportsmanship: that’s how it should be, always

… the Charger fans were pure class and grace … and how cool would it be for AP to get a rep among fans of other teams for being just that as well: classy

I wouldn't say we can "afford" an injury to the D-Line
But I get what you’re saying, an injury to certain other positions would be disastrous.
Good job TJax and the rest of the DLine! That was a hell of a game and a lot better than we’ve looked in a while. Keep it the f*ck up!
Chiefs Will
I think it may be nice to let magee show hes worth a roster spot, we will see

I do hope all the tyson jackson haters took notice last night.
he showed signs of being a good 3-4 end, thats a lot more than what people were expecting!

Jackson Looked Good
But I think we will be fine with Shaun Smith and Wallace Gilberry taking his place for a week or so. The injury didn’t look too bad & hopefully he can keep up the good work from last week. Our D-line looked stout last night
A lot of steam went out of the pass rush without T-Jax.
But the middle of the D continued denying the run. The unsung heroes on THAT were the DBs coming up and tackling on the edge, and letting the big boys concentrate more power inside.
"I ain't lyin' 'bout nothin'."
"Oh? So what exactly are you lying about?"
My best bud is TJs biggest critic.
Even he was impressed. Thought I’d never see it. And they played as a team. Haven’t seen that for a long time. Credit to us fans as well. Man we were great. Yes i’m still patting us on the back.
NO T-JAX...
it’s alrite… 1-2 weeks I can do with that… and we have a BI N week 4 thank God 4 that….GO CHIEFS!!!!
I imagine this is a conservative estimate
An MCL sprain is best case scenario for an injury of this type. Who knows how severe it is, but I’m guessing with the precautions and rehab of the modern NFL that he’ll be back sooner rather than later.
we have the bye week, he will probably be back after the bye. no need to rush it with magee looking to prove his worth
hes the key here…
magee was a 3rd round pick and inactive last night
this is his shot
Team Pioli/Haley. Decade of the Chiefs.
Team Colquitt
Yup. And we might just be very happy he gets this shot and chance to grow.
Kinda tough gettin’ reps against #1s with Dorsey and Jackson in front of him.
"I ain't lyin' 'bout nothin'."
"Oh? So what exactly are you lying about?"
so happy to be able to read that now from others. Jackson took a lot of heat, he needed time, I think magee can do the same

Good news about TJax.....
we should be ok til week 5 w/o him although he did play his best game of his young NFL career. Looks like he’s starting to get “it” . Thanks Anthony Pleasent and RC! But what about our best player on D… BFlowers?? I know he came back in the game but is there any word on what happened to keep him off the field for a few snaps?
Jared Page's agent bro says that...
T Jax will be back next week no matter how bad his injury is.

We have Harrison and Gore next so
we really need someone to step in. we stop the run in these 2 games and I think we win.
