KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Defensive lineman Chris Jones was playing his best football of the season for the Kansas City Chiefs when he was hit with COVID-19 and knocked out of the lineup for a Week 15 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Jones said the illness and symptoms -- for him congestion and body aches -- set him back more than just during the week he was out. They affected him in last week's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers as well.
"This COVID thing is a challenging situation," Jones said.
