Spencer Ware has torn PCL, will likely miss season

Kansas City Chiefs running back Spencer Ware has received the worst possible news on his injured knee.

Via Chiefs trainer Rick Burkholder, Ware has a torn PCL and potential other damage, and while he is seeking a second opinion, his season is likely over.

Spencer Ware has a torn PCL in addition to other damage. He'll get a second opinion, but it's thought to be season ending, per @proatc.

Ware was Kansas City’s leading rusher in 2016, racking up 921 yards, plus another 447 in receiving yardage.

Ware does indeed appear to have avoided a serious ACL injury, but this sounds bad enough. It likely means rookie Kareem Hunt will be extensively used out of the Chiefs’ backfield to start the year.
