Kansas City Chiefs DT Chris Jones put on COVID-19 list; CB L’Jarius Sneed returning after brother’s death

Leave a comment

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs will practice on Tuesday without star defensive lineman Chris Jones, who is headed to the reserve/COVID-19 list.

Coach Andy Reid suggested Jones could still play in Thursday night’s road game for first place in the AFC West against the Los Angeles Chargers. A vaccinated player could play in a game, according to NFL policy, if he is symptom-free and tests negative twice 24 hours apart.

The Chiefs placed wide receiver Josh Gordon on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Monday.

Defensive back Tyrann Mathieu cited pressuring quarterback Justin Herbert as the defensive key to beating the Chargers. Jones leads the Chiefs in sacks with seven.

“The only guy you can really compare him to is probably Aaron Donald,” Mathieu said. “You talk about inside dominance. It’s going to be a big challenge for us to replace him.”

Reid said cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was on his way back to Kansas City, although he wouldn’t practice on Tuesday. Sneed missed Sunday’s 48-9 win over the Las Vegas Raiders to return home to Louisiana after the death of his brother.

“I think it will be good for him to be around his teammates,” Reid said. “They care a lot about him. I think that will help him.”

Mathieu said he has stayed in touch with Sneed and received a text message from him on Tuesday.

“He told me he loved me,” Mathieu said. “For me, that was all I needed to hear. He’s dealing with a lot right now, but football means a lot to him.

“I think he has some motivation going forward.”

T’Qarontarion Harrison, who was largely responsible for raising Sneed as a child, was killed during an incident Friday. Police in Minden, Louisiana, say a woman, Angela Washington, has been charged with second-degree homicide.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Kansas City Chiefs get scoop-and-score touchdown on game’s first play vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Leave a comment

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs scored on the first play from scrimmage on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders at Arrowhead Stadium, taking a 7-0 lead before most of the fans had settled into their seats.

Las Vegas running back Josh Jacobs was stripped by Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones, and cornerback Mike Hughes recovered the loose ball. Hughes then returned the fumble 23 yards to give the Chiefs a 7-0 lead just 17 seconds into the game.

Kansas City is looking for a sixth consecutive victory and to keep its lead in the AFC West, while the Raiders are looking to get back on track after losing four of their first five games. The way they started Sunday won’t help with that.
