Kadarius Toney is OUT Sunday vs the #Broncos, a source tells @theScore.
I’m told Toney has made good progress and the #Chiefs are hopeful he’ll be good to go next week. KC’s second-year WR has missed the past two games with a hamstring injury. pic.twitter.com/Fe5eQu82jq

Just think if we had Alex Smith, Toney and Hardman being out would kill this offense. We now have the luxury that we don’t have to worry about it anymore. Mahomes elevates everyone around him. These are going to be the good ole days. [Reply]

He's never played a full NFL season and I don't think he can. Regardless, I'm glad KC signed him. I think he can make an impact when he does. Just need to deal with the times he can't .
You could be right.
But there have been players who began their career with injury problems but then went on to have several injury free years after that.
It’s only his second season. Literally anything can happen. And there’s so much potential with this kid I’m okay with being patient a while. [Reply]

We can be patient but we shouldn't count on him as a top 3 WR on this team when making roster decisions for next year. Not signing other players for those spots and hoping Toney will stay healthy is a pretty poor gamble at this point. [Reply]

I have theories but it’s way too early to put them out there. I’ll just say that I have faith that Veach won’t put all his eggs in one basket. He'll go after a couple WRs next year. But, probably his focus will be on the DL. [Reply]

After officially ruling out WR Kadarius Toney, the Chiefs elevated WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette from the practice squad via standard elevation. This is the only elevation for the team this week, meaning Melvin Gordon won’t be elevated to face his former team in Week 14.
This is the first standard elevation for Smith-Marsette since joining the practice squad in Kansas City in late October. One reason that the Chiefs have opted for Smith-Marsette is that WRs Marcus Kemp and Cornell Powell have both exhausted their limit of three standard elevations. Those limits go away once the postseason arrives, but only Smith-Marsette, Bryan Edwards and Jerrion Ealy have elevations available for the rest of the regular season. [Reply]
