Confirmed, per source, Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill had a posterior SC (sternoclavicular) dislocation which was successfully reduced in the hospital. No surgery required. He will stay overnight.

The sternalclavicluar (SC) joint is at the medial (middle) end of the much more common AC joint sprain. Not only are SC joint injuries less common than AC joint injuries, the kind that displaces posteriorly is even rarer. When this happens, the mediastinal structures (including major vessels) in the middle of the chest are put at risk, and thus the referral to the hospital was the right thing for the Chiefs to do. In fact, it is likely that Hill stays overnight in the hospital instead of flying home.
If truly dislocated posteriorly, that could require a procedure for reduction (to put it back). Rappoport reported surgery will not be necessary, but that doesn’t rule out a reduction maneuver to put the clavicle back in place.
Regardless, this injury will have him missing multiple weeks. It would be a shock if he returns in September. In fact, I would not be surprised if Hill is placed on IR to be designated to return in eight weeks or more. [Reply]

Clay, why the fuck do you continue to post information from that worthless hack Chao? He blatantly admitted he was stumped by Hills injury. He doesn't know what the fuck is going on. [Reply]
This comes from Chao as well. He's a disgraced former Chargers doctor who runs a betting site selling medical info. He's the guy who couldn't understand how Tyreek would have to go to the hospital for a clavicle injury.
