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.
It will be interesting to see who the inactives will be for the game.
For the AFC Championship game it was -
QB Shane Buechele
DE Joshua Kaindoh
T Darian Kinnard
TE Blake Bell
WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette - Had been elevated from practice squad.
WR Justin Watson - Was ill.
DE Malik Herring
Clyde Edwards-Helaire might be active now rather than Ron Jones.

I was confident then, but had a bad feeling. Everything felt like it was going against us. The weird Willie Gay injury that ended his season. The late AFCCG Fisher injury. The “other” situation.

This team is as healthy as you could hope to be for the final game of the season.

No way Mahomes is 100%. We need Mahomes magic if we are going to win. Can he bring the magic at 80% right ankle, sure. But, this isn't no done deal. [Reply]
