Big news dropped Friday from Kansas City: star defensive lineman Chris Jones just hit the Chiefs’ injury report, listed as a limited participant with a calf injury. This isn’t the kind of update any team wants, especially not with Week 1 against the Broncos just around the corner.
A Star Defender Hurting Early
Jones was added to the injury report on Friday, a huge blow for the Chiefs’ defensive line. He was only a limited participant in practice because of that calf injury. We’re all gonna be waiting for Saturday’s final injury report for Monday night’s game against the Broncos, because that’s when we’ll get a real read on his outlook for the opener. It’s never good when your best players are dinged up before the season even really starts.
Other Key Names on the Report
It’s not just Jones feeling it. Left tackle Josh Simmons’ outlook remains pretty dim, and he missed practice again with a back injury. Defensive back Chamarri Conner also stayed out of practice with a knee issue. But hey, it’s not all bad news! Quarterback Patrick Mahomes (knee), linebacker Jack Cochrane (knee), defensive end Ashton Gillotte (foot), wide receiver Rashee Rice (knee), guard Trey Smith (hip), cornerback L’Jarius Sneed (knee), defensive end R Mason Thomas (hamstring), and wide receiver Xavier Worthy (shoulder) all remained full participants in practice. At least they’ve got some healthy firepower ready to go.
So, while Kansas City is sweating over their key defensive pieces, that final injury report tomorrow is going to be massive. But hey, while the rest of the league kicks off, don’t forget our own Seahawks took care of business against the Patriots, winning 13-10! Always good to see a W in the books for the Emerald City!
