Spencer Ware Returns to Practice; Status Unclear for Sunday's Game vs. Panthers

One of the NFL’s leading dual-threat running backs returned to the practice field on Wednesday afternoon.

Spencer Ware, who ranks third in the NFL among running backs by averaging 117.7 yards from scrimmage per game, missed last week’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars because he hadn’t passed concussion protocol derived from a hit suffered the week before against the Indianapolis Colts.

On Wednesday, Chiefs head coach Andy Reid confirmed that Ware has passed concussion protocol and will be back on the practice field this week.

“Yeah, he did,” Reid confirmed after the morning’s walkthrough.
