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.

I thought he hurt his head or neck on that last run at the end of the game. He bent down and tried to punish the tackler and he didnt jump back up like he normally does. [Reply]
Christ, so we lost what, 9 starters during the Bengals game? That’s so far beyond anything one might consider possible. Last few drives we couldn’t move the ball at all. [Reply]
Did they show Toney on the sideline at all or did anyone catch him on the field during the celebrations? I don't recall seeing him but wondering if he was showed if anyone caught a glimpse of him walking. Sounds like Juju was in bad shape.
I really think we schemed a ton for Toney in this game and that went out the window pretty early. Would love to have him back for the SB but he's also shown nothing but a proclivity to getting banged up thus far as well. Dude is just too fast twitch and jukey for his own body. [Reply]
While Moore has played the "Hardman" role much of the time, he's actually more of a fit for JuJu's role given his contested catch ability. I'm not nervous with Moore playing that role in the SB if JuJu is not a go. Moore just needs to get better at his routes. Toney and Hardman will play similar roles, so we just need one of them able to go. MVS does what MVS does. We will see how it plays out, but I'm not too worried. Also...given the Eagles strengths, I really hope they choose to keep all 4 TE's active to keep the soft middle flooded with big bodies. [Reply]

I think we have a TON of plays we schemed up that were never used yesterday. I like how that sets us up for the SB. [Reply]
