Kansas City Chiefs HC Andy Reid expects WR Kadarius Toney to make his debut against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9 on “Sunday Night Football.”
Toney has only been in town for a little over a week after being traded to Kansas City. Speaking to reporters following practice on Friday, Reid was asked whether Toney would be active for the Week 9 game.
“I think so, yeah,” Reid said. “Right now, I’d tell you yes.”
Unless something transpires between now and kickoff, it’s a safe bet that Toney will get a chance to get on the field and play in some capacity. Where exactly will he get his opportunities, though? Reid is playing that all by ear.
“Yeah, you know what, he’s done a good job,” Reid said on Toney’s practice week. “I appreciate his effort. He’s a fast learner. We’ll see. We’ve got a couple of things in for him. Let’s just see what happens.”
Another play who could see some action in Week 9, but in this case in return from injury, is Trent McDuffie. Asked how he looked in practice and whether he’d play, Reid suggested McDuffie would be back.
“Yeah, he looked good,” Reid said of McDuffie. “Right now, that’s what we’re thinking.”
In fact, Reid only ruled a single player out for the Week 9 game on Sunday night.
“Really the only person who didn’t practice today was Jody Fortson,” Reid said. “And he’ll be listed as out.”
