Examining Poe's Injury History

In his fourth year in the league, Poe had missed just one game before this injury, becoming a staple of the Chiefs defensive line. The last two seasons saw him record 98 tackles and 10.5 sacks.

Poe has had a slow start this season, recording just eight tackles in five games without a sack. But his play could have been affected by the back surgery he underwent in July for a herniated disk. Though he missed training camp, he was able to join the team for the regular season.
