On Monday afternoon, we learned that two players from this week’s Thursday Night Football game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers had been placed on their respective teams’ Reserve/COVID list: Chargers starting left tackle Rashawn Slater and Chiefs starting wide receiver Josh Gordon.
But as Kansas City head coach Andy Reid opened his press conference with local reporters on Thursday, he dropped a bombshell: defensive lineman Chris Jones has also landed on the Chiefs’ COVID list.
With Jones, that makes a total of three Kansas City players on the list: Gordon, Jones and tight end Jody Fortson, who was moved from the Reserve/Injured list to the Reserve/COVID list on Friday.
