Late on Thursday night, the Chiefs issued their most recent injury report, and surprisingly, one player was labeled as limited in practice.
Rashee Rice, a promising wide receiver, was a full participant on Wednesday but was limited on Thursday due to what seemed to be “ankles” issues. This is noteworthy since it appears that both legs are causing him discomfort.
While there’s no guarantee he won’t participate in Sunday’s Super Bowl, it’s unsettling to have him on the roster anyway.
Chiefs Injury News: The Most Recent Report Lists Rashee Rice as Limited Participant
Fortunately, Willie Gay Jr. was not included in the report at all, thus he will play after suffering from injuries during the postseason. Joe Thuney did not practice and is still a long shot to participate, while Clyde Edwards-Helaire and Jerick McKinnon both had limited playing time.
Rice’s selection raises concerns, but he should be OK to play against the 49ers, according to sources.
George Kittle hasn’t been able to practice much this week for the 49ers. We’ll keep a watch on things before the big game because it’s possible that any of these players who have been dealing with lingering problems might have an outburst during the game.
Although the Chiefs are the 49ers’ slight underdogs, they have a unique chance to win their third Super Bowl in the previous five years and second straight. We can only hope that all of these guys will be playing at their peak on Sunday because it’s an amazing moment to be in Kansas City.
