Chiefs Guard Played Second Half of Superbowl With Torn UCL

[Barry McCockinner]

I don't even know what a UCL is but sounds like he's pretty tough.

That’s nothing.  I did that in ‘79 and rubbed dirt on it

Mekhi Becton got a tummy ache and sat our regular portions of games on more than one occasion.

Well at least he wasn't dehydrated. I hear that's a killer.

I just tore mine after giving the wifey her Vday gift.

Tommy John surgery.

I don’t think it’s that unusual for players to play with these injuries.  They can be effectively braced and it’s not like these guys will fumble the ball.  Same thing with a lot of knee injuries.  Who was that dline guy the jets drafted bone on bone condition n his knee?  Running backs and wrs need full motion of their joints so they can’t play with torn or stretched tendons.

Makes it seem a lot less like an all pro guard is required opposite AVT is what it seems.

While Tomlinson + the weekly-changing round robin of AVT backups doesn’t meet this threshold, it would seem that merely adequate is…adequate. It’s not like either of KC’s tackles - both of whom were replaced in the offseason - were much to speak of either.

This is doable.

I'm unsure how tough this makes him. It's not like they were asking him to strike out the side in the bottom of the ninth.

Ironically, he probably didn’t have the ending he expected either.

Dewayne Robertson. Another over drafted and stupid trade up by another GM gem Bradway

You're right....he should have toughed it out so we could win our Super Bowl that was...*checks notes*....week 5 against Denver.  No heart...

This place is slacking. Not one, "I'd take Broadway over Douglas in a heartbeat" comment. #Sad.

Agreed. It seems to be about pain threshold with some of these guys.  Brian Winters played with dislocated shoulders, torn lligaments, etc.  They just taped him up, patted him on the back and said "use your other arm!"
