Charles Omenihu, a defensive end for the Kansas City Chiefs, responded to his detractors on X, a platform that was once Twitter, only three days after he had surgery for a ruptured ACL.
I enjoy it when others try to predict when I’ll return from anything. or what kind of player I am,” stated Omenihu on February 23. “I would think that after this year, people wouldn’t question me, but apparently not. Nevertheless, I preserve all receipts.
During the AFC Championship game against the Baltimore Ravens, Omenihu sustained an ACL tear. Even though he was certain he would be prepared for the Super Bowl in 2024, more tests revealed Omenihu had torn his ACL and would not be able to play in the game.
On February 20, Omenihu had knee surgery, according to James Palmer of NFL Media.
Following his six-game suspension at the beginning of the 2023 regular season, Omenihu was highly productive within the Chiefs’ defense after agreeing to a two-year, $16 million contract with Kansas City over the summer.
According to PFF, Omenihu recorded 29 total quarterback pressures in 11 regular season games (17 hurries, 7 sacks, 5 hits), 13 stops, and 2 caused fumbles. He totaled 8 QB pressures (7 hurries, 1 sack), 1 stop, and 1 forced fumble in 3 postseason games.
Omenihu ought to be able to participate in games at some time in 2024. However, given that he sustained an ACL tear in January, it’s likely that he won’t be prepared to play when the 2024 season gets underway.
“I hope you return when real doctors tell you that you are healthy enough to play quarterback on your reconstructed knee. Be healthy and get some rest, wrote Arrowhead Pride’s Jared Sapp.
Another person commented, “As long as it’s with the Chiefs when you come back, I’m happy.” “Obviously, sooner is better, but staying healthy and pushing for another Super Bowl is fantastic as well.”
Another user stated, “Everyone I know, myself included, has been extremely impressed with everything you have brought to the Chiefs thus far and are happy to have ya.” “I apologize that you have to deal with some haters.”
Put everything together. Take out each and every receipt. Enjoy the season of your dreams,” a another person commented. “As for us Chiefs supporters, we know the next season will be even better because we loved what we saw from you last year.”
And I’m hoping you’re not depressed or melancholy over here. My knowledge of football is insufficient to fit into a box, but I am confident that you are exceptional; excellence always triumphs in the end. Sending positivity and good vibes,” another commenter said.
Greetings, @charless_94 When I first noticed that we had signed you, I was ecstatic to see you in a Chiefs uniform. It was enjoyable to consider how excellent you are in this defense after Preaseason, a different individual commented. “You deserve every penny and every respect after the ban, and you delivered.” I hope everything works out for you.
