K.C. Chiefs head coach Andy Reid remains optimistic about Tyrann Mathieu’s availability for the team’s opening game against the Cleveland Browns next Sunday, but that doesn’t mean the team is out of the woods with regards to his recent positive COVID-19 diagnosis.
On Labor Day, Reid told reporters that Mathieu remains on the team’s COVID/reserve list after going on it last week with a surprising diagnosis.
