The Kansas City Chiefs had their first practice at their regular facility in Kansas City on Monday. Ahead of his team’s first practice session of the week, Head Coach Andy Reid took to the podium afterward to give an extensive injury update.
“As far as the injuries go, where we’re sitting right now, Yasir Durant is in the concussion protocol, (Rashad) Fenton — he has a hamstring strain, it happened just before the game (while he was fielding punts). Chris Jones is sick — not COVID, but sick. Dorian O’Daniel is also sick. Darrel Williams is in the concussion protocol. Austin Blythe did have surgery on a sports hernia and he’s doing well. Frank Clark, hamstring strain, and Larry [Duvernay-Tardif] continue to improve.”
Reid also provided clarity on starting running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, who injured his ankle against the Arizona Cardinals last Friday night.
“He’s doing well,” said Reid. “He just did the walkthrough. He’s got a sore ankle, but we’ll just see how that goes here.”
CEH reportedly was on the practice field doing some stretches but left before team practice drills began.
While it’s early to say if Edwards-Helaire will play in Kansas City’s final preseason game or not, it’s safe to say the Chiefs will be cautious with their approach leading up to Friday evening.
