The Chiefs are still without defensive tackle Chris Jones as the franchise seeks to become only the ninth team in NFL history to win consecutive Super Bowl titles in the 2023 NFL season.
Jones, who registered a career-high 15.5 sacks last season, has not reported to training camp due to a sour dispute over his contract. The four-time Pro Bowler has one year remaining on the four-year, $80 million deal he signed with the franchise in ’20. As Kansas City prepares for its final preseason game on Saturday against the Browns, Chiefs coach Andy Reid told reporters on Wednesday that the team has not been in contact with Jones.
“There’s been no communication, so I don’t know what’s going to go down,” Reid said, per Pete Sweeney of Arrowhead Pride. “Whatever happens, happens, and if he’s [Jones] not there, the game goes on … they got to communicate and do their thing.”
