Andy Reid confirmed 9 injury players after preseason win vs Browns

After the team’s final preseason game, Kansas City’s head coach addressed a number of injury-related queries.

On Saturday afternoon, Andy Reid, the head coach of the Kansas City Chiefs, addressed the crowd from the podium. He was certain that none of the players on the injured list would be sidelined for an extended period of time, despite the team’s huge injury list following their final preseason game against the Cleveland Browns, which they won 33-32.

The list was highlighted by starting linebacker Leo Chenal, who endured a hip pointer on his fumble recovery early in the game. Linebacker Cole Christensen hurt his ribs, wide receiver Cornell Powell had “a little bit” of a hamstring issue — and rookie offensive lineman Wanya Morris had “a little bit” of a shoulder issue. Linebackers Cam Jones and Olakunle Fatukasi suffered concussions.

“These are all things the guys will be able to come back from,” said Reid.

Reid was asked about several players who were injured earlier in the preseason. Wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who has been out since Day 1 of training camp, could reasonably practice this week.

“Possibly,” said Reid regarding Toney’s practice status. “We’re just taking that one day-by-day, but he’s doing great right now.”

Reid characterized rookie cornerback Nic Jones, who broke a couple fingers in his hand during the preseason, as “OK.” The Chiefs confirmed he did not need surgery to repair the injury.

Running back Isiah Pacheco (hand/labrum) and defensive tackle Turk Whartson (ACL) saw their initial action of the preseason against the Browns.

“It was good to get those two in the game,” said Reid. “[It] didn’t need to be a lot — just to get their adrenaline knocked off a little bit.”
