NFL Network reporter and league insider, Ian Rapoport, gave the latest update regarding coach Reid’s medical condition. The latter is reportedly stable and under the observation of health professionals as a precaution.
Chiefs safety Tyrann Mathieu took to Twitter after the game with a tweet regarding Reid’s unfortunate exclusion from Sunday’s game.“I’m praying for my Head Coach & I’m hoping you can send up prayers with me!! One of the best men & teachers I’ve been around!!! GOD please show us your mercy!” the tweet read.
KC Fans will be hoping to see their team boss back in the dugout, sooner rather than later. But the 2019 Super Bowl winners will not want to rush their coach to take up his duties, with his health the first priority right now.
