He’s not returning. 

Do you have a justification or some kind of link for the above statement?

I think an injured Hyde is WAY better than Hamlin.  WAY better.  

How about a paralyzed Hyde?

Has any player come back from an in season injury comparable to this? I know Hyde is trying to work out and maybe come back deep into January but I just don’t see it happening. I don’t even see Crowder coming back. Maybe Benford and Kumerow but not those two.

Payton Wisears.  You know what I meant.  I’m not exactly concerned about autocorrect on this site.  Thanks for the nitpicking though.

No, it’s never been done. It ain’t the injury, it’s the type of surgery required to fix it and since he had the ACDF as opposed to the ADR procedure, the minimum recovery time is six months for the spinal bone grafts to properly fuse.

Alas wishful thinking is time wasted.

Damn didn’t realize Monday night is the Super Bowl.  Better get my menu prepared

While I technically agree with OP, I think it’s mostly a pipe dream right now. That quote of Hyde’s came across to me like typical athlete motivational thinking. “Historically no, but…” I.e., he thinks he’s a supernatural healer until proven otherwise.

Pulling statements out of nowhere that aren't substantiated or at least explained is time wasted. The idea is to discuss a point here rather than do the least work via of a drive-by comment.

Cool so they are only a Micah Hyde away from a SB ring??!

 

they should just sign him right now!—he IS the missing piece to this team!

Same was said for Tre. Even if he came back. I'm not sure mentally he'd be in it, or physically be up to game shape. But I'm with you. We are so much better with him in it. Imagine what the D would look like right now with Him and Miller. Sucks we only have to wonder. 

but Tre doesn't look very good yet.   If he is matched up with Chase, he is probably going to get lit up Monday night.  It has been shown that unless you are Adrian Peterson, you can't come back to 100% the year after a late season ACL

Like when we had him last year?  And in 2020?

So much of it is luck as we were a squib kick away from hosting an AFC Championship game last year.  The Chiefs almost choked in the Divisional round in 2020 beating the Browns by five.  Browns win that and they travel to Buffalo for the AFC Championship game.   You can debate all you want which of the last three seasons we had the best roster but our current roster as constructed has as good of chance as any in the league.  Having Hyde back (while not an absolute must) would slightly increase our chances.

I'd say if Josh's good judgment returns we win the Super Bowl.

 

Better throwing decisions and fewer INTs will mean more than Hyde's return — but that would still be very good. Just not counting on it.

 Miller will in 2023. His recovery time is 7 months he said. Walking with no brace or crutches after 3 days and was walking up and down stairs with a normal gait a week after surgery. His situation is uncommon though, so I know what your getting at.

 Josh was playing worse last December, including a 42.3 completion percentage 0 td, 3 int game against Atlanta in week 17 last year. He had his lowest QB Rating of his career in that game, it was so low it matched his jersey number. 

 

 After seeing how he stepped his game way up once the playoffs started, I don't worry anymore about Josh in big games. In primetime games this year he has 17 tds, 5 ints and a QB Rating a little over 105, while adding another 3 tds rushing. Buffalo is 6-0 in primetime games(I'm counting the Thanksgiving day game, but not KC game).

 I think he's trying to say he'd be a little, tiny bit better.
