KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Coach Andy Reid said the Kansas City Chiefs did not file erroneous injury reports regarding Kadarius Toney as the wide receiver claimed in a profanity-filled Instagram Live post attributed to him.
On his post, Toney said he doesn’t have the hip and ankle injuries the Chiefs have recently listed for Toney on their weekly injury reports.
“I’m not hurt,” Toney said.
Toney hasn’t played since a Week 15 game against the New England Patriots in which he deflected a pass to a defender for an interception for the second time this season. The Chiefs said before Sunday’s AFC Championship Game that Toney wouldn’t play because of injuries and personal reasons. Toney’s partner gave birth to the couple’s first child, a daughter, on Saturday.
Reid said he hadn’t seen Toney’s post but had been told about it. On Monday, Reid said Toney was “working through some things” and that he would be with the Chiefs when they begin practice on Thursday for Super Bowl LVIII against the San Francisco 49ers.
Teams and coaches can be fined by the NFL for issuing inaccurate or misleading injury reports.
