Twitter: Schottenheimer not optimistic about Guyton playing against Detroit

[TequilaCowboy]

Guyton is better.

Not if he’s not fully recovered and going up against premier DE. LT is of course a very difficult position even when fully healthy.

KC pass rush sucks. That is why they blitz. Thomas played well though.

They are a top 10 defense & we moved the ball quite well thru the air & on the ground which both required Thomas to have some success.

Soft benching

This. Thomas looked solid. They know he won't get turnstiled

Guyton is better.

Availability is his best ability. He's not available.

Plus Detroit would go after him like a wounded animal if they even thought he wasn't 100%. Shotty won't risk that.

I doubt Guyton is even close. You don't miss only one or two weeks after a high ankle. I think that was just typical vague injury coach-speak from Schotty because someone in the media asked about TG.

After a ten day break, maybe it's more realistic.

Guyton’s injuries have become a major issue. I think OT in round 1 is a real possibility, although I’d prefer we use both 1sts on defense. Considering there are holes at so many positions I’m thinking the GB pick may be turned into a 2nd and 3rd, especially if it’s after pick 25.

I wouldn't be optimistic if Guyton was completely healthy.

He seems to get hurt a lot. Am I wrong?

 

[VaqueroTD]

One of the few position groups that has shown all year it has the backup talent to ride out injuries is the offensive line, so I guess if we were to lose someone, this would be the one. Even at the all important LT. Nate will do fine.

TBH Nate has earned it

Let him rest up for the playoffs. High ankle sprain is usually 4-6 weeks.

2027 he'll be ready

You're right. Nothing that really adds up to extremely long absences but he does get a lot of these bumps and bruises.

Of course he deserves a ton of credit for coming back for the opener from that camp knee injury that had a lot of people fearing he was out for the year.
