After a heavy day of injuries at Kansas City Chiefs training camp, head coach Andy Reid delivered updates on the health of Kadarius Toney, Nick Bolton and three others who were injured on Wednesday.
Over the course of Wednesday's action, the Chiefs saw five players leave due to injuries before riding a cart up the hill at Missouri Western State University:After practice, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid updated the injury designations and status of those five players: Bolton left with an elbow issue. Toney, Godrick and Mettauer all had ankle injuries. Gathings left due to his hamstring.
Asked in a follow-up about Bolton, Reid gave a slight bit of detail about KC's starting middle linebacker.Reid also noted that cornerback Nazeeh Johnson , wide receiver Justin Watson and safety Justin Reid didn't practice, as Justin Reid remains on the non-football injury list due to an injury suffered before camp.
Bolton and Toney both bring recent injury histories with them, though Toney's reputation has been tarnished by his health-related absences far more than Bolton's. Toney was injured on his first day of training camp practice in 2023 and has struggled to stay on the field throughout his career. The timing of his return could be enormous
Bolton missed a significant portion of 2023 due to a wrist injury suffered in Week 7. While he, unlike Toney, is guaranteed a roster spot and is certain to be one of the Chiefs' starting linebackers when healthy in 2024, it's worth remembering that Bolton is, the final year of his rookie deal. If Bolton isn't extended before the season, he could hit free agency in 2025.
