Andy Reid’s Chiefs Confirm 2 Fresh Injuries After Announcing 3 Exits Off the Roster & Practice Squad

What seemed like a perfect season for the Kansas City Chiefs might not be as flawless as it looks. Sure, they’ve won most of their games, losing only one. But just like any other team out there, they too have their weak spots. And you saw that in their game against the Buffalo Bills. If you think Andy Reid‘s Chiefs are playing their best football, you might want to rethink that.

The Chiefs have been scraping by in their recent matchups, barely managing to escape defeat. After nearly losing to the Panthers (27-30), new issues are popping up for the team. There are some fresh troubles ahead. Yes, you read that right! There’s a serious blow to the Chiefs’ roster as key players are sidelined due to injuries. Cam Jones, the Chiefs’ linebacker, won’t be practicing on Tuesday due to an illness. On top of that, Spencer Shrader, the kicker, is sidelined with a hamstring injury, confirmed Chiefs.

The team earlier waived off DE Cam Thomas. And also terminated Truman Jones and Lucas Niang. It’s been a tough season on the injury front as well. They’ve got an upcoming game against the Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium. With key players on the roster injured, the Raiders are going to try and exploit their divisional foes’ weaknesses. Although the Raiders don’t have much to play for. With only 2 wins and and 9 losses, they’ve pretty much become part of the ‘left-behind’ squad for this season.

A silver lining for them, though, is that their QB, Aidan O’Connell, is back. To add a little sting for Chiefs fans, the Raiders managed to beat the Red Kings last year on Christmas Eve with a 20-14 win. So, this going to be a tough one for Andy Reid’s squad. The HC is already unhappy with his guys after the last game. If they lose this one, they might get a serious scolding from him.

Andy Reid has a serious message for his team.

At this point, it’s pretty clear that the Chiefs aren’t as strong as we initially thought, and it’s all over the news now. Non-Chiefs fans have been pointing this out for quite some time. In the last game, the Panthers were so close to pulling off an upset, but luckily, Spencer Shrader nailed a field goal at the last moment to give the Chiefs the win. Andy Reid could feel the tension at that moment.

“The #KansasCity #Chiefs will not win the Super Bowl this year. #TravisKelce is busy working that #TaylorSwift girl. He has lost a step. Sometimes #PatrickMahomes doesn’t look locked in. They’ve made upgrades at WR but they can’t bring it. They are one injury away from becoming a second-place team. This team can’t continue to ride their defense”, posted a user after that game on X. That was indeed a brutal thing to say. But it has some truth in it, maybe. 

Reid’s anger is justified. Even he had a serious message for his guys after the game. “We’ve got some things we need to clean up”, said the HC post-game. He made it clear that he doesn’t want to see any of the guys looking defeated, they should be focused and giving their all to win. Let’s hope that Reid’s message is clear to the Chiefs boys.
