How the Kansas City Chiefs will carry on, for now, without Chris Jones, Kadarius Toney
The Chiefs’ road to repeating as NFL champions is off to a bumpy start. A few days into training camp, defensive star Chris Jones has officially become a holdout, and wide receiver Kadarius Toney suffered a knee injury almost as soon as he stepped onto the field.
We discuss these issues and more in this episode of SportsBeat KC, The Star’s sports podcast. We cover a lot of ground from training camp at Missouri Western with beat writer Jesse Newell and columnist Vahe Gregorian.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid (and others) gave the impression that contract talks with Jones’ camp were going smoothly and it’s just a matter of time before an agreement is reached. What are the team’s options, and do they include a trade?
Toney, who caught one touchdown pass and set up another with a record punt return in the Super Bowl, has been prone to injury. Now it’s time for others to step up. The competition at wide receiver will be among the Chiefs’ most-watched battles during the preseason.
