During Sunday’s 34-30 victory against the previously unbeaten Detroit Lions, the Kansas City Chiefs saw a couple of players go down with injury. Perhaps most notably, was the hip injury to starting defensive end Alex Okafor.
While we have no official update on Okafor at this point, Reid did state immediately after the game in remarks to reporters that he didn’t believe Okafor’s injury was anything serious. Despite his optimism, the reality is that the Chiefs seem to be checking out options in case the worst case scenario plays out. General manager Brett Veach was at least kicking the tires on a potential backup plan on Monday.
