KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs practiced on Tuesday without star defensive lineman Chris Jones, who was placed on 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.
Reid said cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was on his way back to Kansas City, although he didn’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.
