Quote: “it’s a little bit worse than I think we all… and I wouldn’t expect to see… well… this kind of injury, he’d have to tough it out big time, and does he have that in him or not? I don’t know”

When asked if he’d want him to try and push through the back injury: “I really wouldn’t, and I think people are starting to come around to that fact. Listen if the guys hurt— and he is hurt, everybody out there, he’s not having any kinda episode— I mean all these conspiracy theories, about ‘Josh Simmons this’, ‘Josh Simmons that’ ‘He’s a wuss’… this injury is something you CANT just tough out.

And I don’t think… I don’t want him to tough it out because I don’t want it to get worse, and I think that’s probably the approach the chiefs are taking is ‘let’s get him healthy’, and however long that’s gonna take… whatever it is, but we want him for all the other games after that. I think that’s the approach that they’re taking. It’s scary as hell”
