@DannyParkins: Dontari Poe will miss training camp. #Chiefs

@ChiefsReporter: Dontari Poe will be resting until after #ChiefsCamp. Won't participate in team practices.

@pgsween: #Chiefs DT Dontari Poe had a herniated disk in his back and had successful surgery on July 15. He is doing great & will be up to camp Fri.

Might be the wear and tear of playing so much in college and NFL that big. Think he played close to every snap in college.

Hope just minor.

Maybe this will force Sutton to substitute more and Poe will be fresher later in the season considering he is healthy enough to play.

This defense over achieved last year... the firs 4 games are brutal

1-3

I don't see how this team can rely on Charles this year, OL took a step back... I see his YPC dropping and Smiffy having to put stuff on his shoulder instead of relying on Charles every down- Poe out? An OL that has taken a step backwards

I dunno... It don't look good

So, we can't rely on Charles.

I'm dying to hear why?

He's a Raiders fan trying to troll. Don't bother.

You can rely on a RB like Charles...

.. assuming he isn't old for his position, is playing behind with at least a below average line and hasn't had a track record of missing games over his last few seasons.

**mdchiefsfan** · 07-30-2015, 05:10 AM

I'm hearing out indefinitely now. Has there been a change, or just different speculation?

We should probably just go with "indefinitely".

It's a back issue and he's a big guy. This isn't something you're going to want to rush him back into. It'll have serious consequences for the rest of his life if he re-injures it.

RunKC · 07-30-2015, 09:45 AM

Have we signed Red Bryant yet?

Not just a back issue, but the guy had back surgery. Back surgery is never a good thing and it typically only gets worse. Not looking good for the middle of that defense.

philfree · 07-30-2015, 10:47 AM

They're so good at back surgery these days Poe will be fine. What did they do make a 1/2" incision?

RunKC · 07-30-2015, 12:06 PM

Sutton will run the nickel most of the time to scheme around losing Poe. I'd be he'll have DeVito and Howard in a lot with Bailey and Cat rotating and one SS between Branch, Berry and maybe sometimes Commings (if he's healthy) lined up to help stop the run.

Funny that you bring this up bc it's exactly along the lines of what I was thinking last night. We're in nickel more than half the time anyways. I don't think losing Poe is going to hurt as much as we all initially felt. Hopefully he gets back soon though bc we're obviously better off with him, and maybe by the time he's back Cat and Howard solidify themselves and we have a great rotation going forward.

How would going with a lighter formation compensate for losing a 345 lbs NT?
