[Frustration]

I almost didn't want to write this post. I almost just wanted to wait until the preseason game tonight to see for myself. I wanted to deny that something like this happened to the Chiefs. But unfortunately it has, and although I'm a big proponent of ignorance being bliss, I felt like I had to address the situation.

Jon Baldwin has injured his wrist in a locker room scuffle with veteran teammate Thomas Jones.

And after receiving Nick Wright's tweet, Nick Wright being the one that broke the story, frustration immediately set in.

Many wondered why Baldwin was absent from practice on Wednesday, especially since he should get more reps in this week's preseason game against the Baltimore Ravens. Well now we know, and it gets worse. According to Wright, Baldwin will miss the remainder of the preseason and possibly even the first week or two of the regular season. And although Wright couldn't confirm this 6-8 week injury absence, he's been right so far so we're in no position to question what he's said.

Baldwin, who many questioned as the right pick in the first round, had been changing fans' minds with his training camp play but it all seems to all be coming down on him. After an extremely shortened offseason, Baldwin's progression will now be even more hampered because of this dumb injury.

But it's not only Baldwin that looks bad. Thomas Jones just injured our first round draft pick. Haley couldn't control his own team enough to prevent this from happening. Pioli's selection of Baldwin in the first round will now be questioned and scrutinized more than ever.

This is not the hopes Chiefs fans had for their first round draft pick or the beginning of the season.
