In a departure from expectations this afternoon, Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed was on the field for some stretching and conditioning that would put him in the next stage of the concussion protocol, a very good sign for him.
Andy Reid is optimistic JuJu Smith-Schuster, who sustained a left knee injury Sunday, will be able to participate in the team's practices next week in Arizona.
"He's in the good place," Reid said. "The main thing is letting that thing calm down. We'll just see where it goes."
Reid was particularly optimistic that among the injured players Toney and JuJu would be able to play in the Super Bowl. On JuJu, Reid said, "He's in a good place."
Andy Reid said L’Jarius Snead, who spends most of his time covering teams #1 QB is in the concussion protocol. His status for the Super Bowl will be one to watch vs the #eagles
Chiefs LB Willie Gay is optimistic about playing in the Super Bowl despite hurting his shoulder Sunday vs. Cincinnati, per source. Early tests were encouraging.
.@adamteicher to @J810Anderson on how the #Chiefs feel about the chances of their injured players returning for the Super Bowl: "The Chiefs feel like everybody's got a chance, all those guys." Adds that it's doubtful that all of them would make it, but all should have a shot.
We're looking pretty damn healthy all of a sudden, especially if Gay ends up being good to go. Hardman not playing sucks but he only suited up for the AFCCG anyway over the last half of the aeason so not too big of a loss there. [Reply]

Gay was already limited last week. He's definitely playing. [Reply]

I have to imagine that at least some guys are still going to be hurting here and there, and if this were a regular season game against the Raiders, some of them might not play.
But it's the Super Bowl. As long as they can be productive and not risk long-term injury, it's do or die time. [Reply]

I don't know why people continue to say this.
They might not be 100%, but who is?
Every one of those guys had a minor injury with and extra week to heal up. They're fine. [Reply]

But many of you continue to talk like they're going to be Mahomes out there in the AFCCG (way less than 100%). All of these injuries aside from Hardman were clearly minor, and they've had 2 weeks to rest/heal. [Reply]

Well, close the thread then. Nothing else to discuss! Everyone's healthy! [Reply]

A big update on Patrick Mahomes’ high ankle sprain. He told me the plan for how he’ll test it later in the week and how that will impact the #chiefs game plan for Super Bowl LVII. My report on @nflnetworkpic.twitter.com/icpeqX0dMm
