Chiefs RB Jerick McKinnon Undergoes Surgery for Core Muscle Injury | Chiefs Digest
The club placed McKinnon on injured reserve Dec. 24 with a groin injury. Head coach Andy Reid hasn’t made a definitive statement on McKinnon’s potential return, but the typical return from a similar procedure is at least six to eight weeks. Tight end Blake Bell, who underwent a similar surgery last year performed by Dr. Meyers, missed the first 14 games of the 2022 season.
McKinnon’s designation on injured reserve ensured he would miss the team’s final three regular-season games and the club’s Wild Card Weekend contest against the Miami Dolphins.
