In news that has been expected since Monday, head coach Andy Reid announced that the Chiefs will not play Spencer Ware and D.J. White this weekend. White is out with a fractured hand, and while he was a limited participant in practice, he isn’t quite back yet. This means that Phillip Gaines and Steven Nelson will join Marcus Peters in the nickel defense.
Meanwhile, Ware sustained a concussion in the second quarter of Kansas City’s 30-14 win over the Indianapolis Colts. Ware is yet to pass the concussion protocol and has not been able to practice throughout the week.
