Cushing Injured in Jets Game on MNF

[today]

Chiefs lost again today, their season is just about over. Make the call Rick!

Any word on Sharpton? The three-week window for him to start practicing opened this week, and when (or if) he starts practicing they'll have three weeks to decide whether to activate him or put him on IR. Kubiak said after the Jets game that Sharpton wasn't ready to come back as of that point.

Best case is after the bye. Worst case is.....

Kubiak hasn't sounded real optimistic when he's been asked.

It's sounding more like he is IR bound. That is a tough injury to come back from and his set back that he had right before training camp appears to be more serious then were lead to believe when it happened.

Seems I was wrong about this one as well as the many other things I am wrong about.

from Alan Burge

Here's what Kubiak had to say:

(on ILB Darryl Sharpton’s status) “I thought it was next week (when he could come off PUP), because I’ll be honest with you, I wasn’t even thinking about it because I knew he wasn’t ready to come back this week. He could have practiced this week just like (LB Terrell) Suggs in Baltimore. He’s in the same situation, but he’s not ready. He’s very close. He’s working with our trainers and running very, very well. But he is not ready to go on the field with the rest of the players yet. I don’t know. He’s got another week next week so we’ll see where we’re at in a couple weeks here.” - houstontexans.com

Yep, that's a bit more optimistic. Sure would be nice to have him as another option, IF, he can go full speed.

The bye week could be very helpful for Sharpton because if he's not ready this week, he'll have two weeks before the next time we'll need him.

With Cushing on the sidelines again in todays game, apparently he's still not had his surgery ?

During the Monday press conference, when Kubiak annoinced Cush was out for the season, Kubiak stated that Cushing would be having the surgery after a 2 week wait for the swelling to subside.

So I expect him to have his surgery this week or next.

Sharpton should return to practice next week.
