The countdown in Miami continues as Kansas City and San Francisco prepare for Sunday’s big game…
The only injury concerns heading into the week for the Chiefs were defensive tackle Chris Jones, who was hobbled by a calf strain in the AFC title game, and tight end Travis Kelce, who has
been dealing with a sore knee. Chiefs coach Andy Reid said that Kelce was fine and that Jones was ”good to go” after a 90-minute workout Wednesday. Reid wanted to keep the week before the game relatively light, so the Chiefs installed virtually the entire game plan for Sunday night’s game before they departed Kansas City. That allowed them to deal with the circus of opening night Monday and more media responsibilities Tuesday without worrying about putting things in place for the game.
