Josh Downs on joining the Chiefs: “It’s great to join a team like this. It’s good when guys welcome you. … I don’t want to be a guy who ask what the play is & the formation. I was excited for the opportunity. I kind of screamed when I saw the text.”

After taking a strip sack on his throwing arm, Patrick Mahomes attempted several throws on the Chiefs' sideline. He's appeared to have discomfort after his follow through. He still has his helmet while talking to trainers.

The Jets won their challenge & take over possession after Justin Fields fumbled the ball on the Chiefs' first-ever tush-push attempt under Andy Reid. The Chiefs' short-yardage woes continue.

In pregame drills, Kingsley Suamataia was indeed the left guard with the rest of the starting lineup.

This is so insane that you can’t even do this on a video game.
Unbelievable.

Sorry for the confusion. I've said this before, I meant a trade during the season where they traded away a first-round pick before the deadline.
Replying to @ByNateTaylor
@ByNateTaylor enjoy Chiefs Collective, the Chiefs have traded a first rounder in Clark Hunt era, for Frank Clark.

Andy Reid's quote: “This is just between Kingsley & I. It’s not something that’s earth shattering. I’ll just keep it there. … I didn’t say it was punishment, ever. This was just between Kingsley & I working some things out here. This isn’t punishment. I’ll leave it at that.”
Andy Reid also said the decision to not play Kingsley Suamataia on offense was not punishment related.

Here's Andy Reid's quote on Mansoor Delane's right shoulder injury: “It’s just a matter of it being strong enough to get out there. There’s a chance that he’ll be able to get himself out there this week. Again, it’s just how strong it is. It’s going to be a day-to-day thing.”
In his usual Zoom call, Andy Reid said Mansoor Delane has a chance to be available against the Jets. But Reid noted that Delane's right shoulder could be a nagging injury all year, saying it's a "day-to-day" situation in terms of the strength necessary to play.
