The Kansas City Chiefs had good news and bad news Thursday on the injury front ahead of the Super Bowl against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday.
Wide receiver Kadarius Toney, who was a limited practice participant on Wednesday due to ankle and hamstring ailment, returned to full activity on Thursday.
“He was spirited (Wednesday) and running around like crazy,” Kansas City coach Andy Reid said Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Chiefs added cornerback L’Jarius Sneed to the injury report, noting that he was limited in practice because of a knee issue.
Sneed is still enjoying Super Bowl week, though. The third-year player was part of the Chiefs team that lost the Super Bowl to end the 2021 season.
“My first one was COVID year, so I didn’t get to experience what I’m experiencing now,” Sneed said, according to Fox4KC.com. “And I think it’s very wonderful and motivating for me.”
Six other Kansas City players were listed on the injury report with minor ailments, but all of them were full participants in practice on both Wednesday and Thursday. That list includes Patrick Mahomes, who has been hobbled by a right ankle injury.
The Eagles listed 13 players as limited practice participants on Thursday after all but three worked out fully on Wednesday.
The Chiefs players are eager for Sunday to arrive.
Kansas City All-Pro defensive tackle Chris Jones said, according to Fox4KC.com, “If it was up to me, we would have (already) played the game.”
Rookie safety Bryan Cook added, according to Fox4KC.com, “If I ain’t ready now, when will I ever be? I’m here for a reason, God put me here for a reason, and it’s all in God’s hands.”
