Potentially scary situation out of Jacksonville, as Chiefs receiver Tyreek Hill was transported to a local hospital after suffering what looks like a serious injury during the team’s game against the Jaguars.
The Chiefs released a statement that might raise more questions than it answers, which you can read courtesy of this tweet from Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The statement is vague, but it makes it sound like Hill came close to something very serious as his “clavicle came into [his] sternum,” but ultimately dislocated his shoulder. In a separate tweet, Rapoport notes that it’s a “rare” injury, and that Packers receiver Jake Kumerow missed about two months with the same issue last year.
Fortunately, Hill seems to have dodged a bullet. He won’t require surgery and will “miss a couple of weeks,” a source told Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com (Twitter link). Adam Schefter of ESPN.com tweets that it’ll be a “few” weeks. Mike Garafolo of NFL Network tweets that it sounds similar to an injury Danny Amendola suffered years ago, which the Rams treated as a “potential life-threatening situation.”
Details are still scarce, but the language in the Chiefs’ statement makes it seem like Hill came very close to having a serious medical issue. It looks like Kansas City’s offense will be without its best weapon for the next few games, although it likely won’t slow them down too much. The Chiefs put up 40 points today and continued to click even after Hill left the game, with number two receiver Sammy Watkins going off for 198 yards and three touchdowns.
Revenge of the battered 4-year-old son! “Now it is YOUR collarbone, Daddy!”
Must be a Pats fan.
It’s hilarious how much real estate the Pats have in your head. This article has absolutely nothing to do with the Pats.
Has nothing to do with Hills son either.
Agreed. I didn’t write the idiotic initial comment.
The pats don’t even think about the Chiefs
There may he a few guys at the hospital. What a tough game. This was a physical game
Kharma
Couldn’t have happened to a nicer person
Sucks they didn’t push for AB, huh?
Take your pick on that team of scoundrels…. Hill, Clark and the historical offenders.
And later tonight youll smack up your woman in anger.
People questioned karma…
Yea karma didn’t do that. Jalen Ramsey did.
