Chiefs S Daniel Sorensen to miss start of season after surgery
The Kansas City Chiefs will be without starting safety Daniel Sorensen for the start of the season after he had surgery to repair a broken shin bone and damage to his left knee.
Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder described the injury Saturday as a tibial plateau fracture, which involves the upper part of the shin. Sorensen also damaged his medial collateral ligament and tore his meniscus when he was hurt during a special teams drill last week.
“One of the guys fell on his leg,” Chiefs coach Andy Reid said.
The injury is similar to one suffered by J.J. Watt last year, causing the Texans star to miss the rest of the season.
