This was from Veach's zoom presser this morning in response to Sam Mellinger following up on a previous response by Veach where he said Mahomes, Schwartz and Fisher were all expected back by August.
When asked, Veach referred again to his notes from Rick (Burkholder) that stated Fisher is projected as a "mid-August return".
Veach then went on to clarify that there's obviously other variables that could impact that but as far as the information he had in front of him from Rick and the medical staff, mid-August is the projection.
Now, Fisher will probably be put on PUP list to start the season but still, this is phenomenal news considering many were expecting Fisher to miss the 2021-22 season entirely. [Reply]
No pressure in the draft. I'll trust Veach to do the right thing. Just please no more project/tweener DE's and linebackers. Pick a player that's able to play the position right away. [Reply]

To be fair, Sneed was a Safety and probably considered a "tweener," so there's that. [Reply]

I was listening on the radio today and they basically said that the chiefs will likely either need to cut one of the tackles or restructure their contracts to get under the cap. It will be interesting if the chiefs decide to move on from Schwartz or Fisher. [Reply]
