Chiefs running back Joe McKnight ruptured his Achilles today
Kansas City Chiefs running back Joe McKnight ruptured his Achilles’ tendon at Thursday’s practice session and will miss the rest of the season according to Terez A. Paylor of the Kansas City Star.
@TerezPaylor: Doug Pederson said McKnight ruptured his Achilles during yesterday’s practice. Was running a route. Non-contact injury.
This is an awful blow for McKnight, who had his best day in the NFL in the team’s blowout win over the Miami Dolphins last Sunday.
McKnight caught six passes for 64 yards and two touchdowns against the Dolphins.
