Sports Seriously
The Kansas City Chiefs started Christmas Day with a lump of coal, as defensive tackle Chris Jones will miss Wednesday’s game against the Pittsburgh Steelers with a calf injury.
Jones left Saturday’s victory against the Houston Texans in the fourth quarter and didn’t return. He was listed as “DNP” in a practice participation estimate for Sunday and did not practice Monday; Chiefs head coach Andy Reid seemed discouraged about Jones’ chances of playing when asked two hours before kickoff.
The two-time All-Pro has five sacks, 20 quarterbacks and one forced fumble this season. Kansas City can clinch the AFC’s No. 1 seed and a Wild-Card round bye with a victory (or a Buffalo Bills loss Sunday).
