The Kansas City Chiefs came out on the other side of the AFC championship game surprisingly healthy. Usually, this time of year, everyone is dealing with some sort of injury. The Chiefs, however, didn’t seem to have many significant injuries going into the game.

“I have no injuries to report, which is a plus,” Andy Reid said on Monday.

The biggest question going into the game against the Titans was the status of star DT Chris Jones. Ahead of the divisional round against the Texans, Jones injured his calf in practice. He ultimately missed that game, and he wasn’t a sure thing to play in the AFC championship game. According to Reid, everything went according to plan and then some with Jones.

“Yeah, we started him off slow – just on third downs to see how he would do,” Reid explained. “He was feeling better as we went along, so we gave him a little bit more. I thought (Run Game Coordinator / DL Coach) Brendan Daly did a nice job with managing him throughout it. Chris did a good job of communicating. As a result, I think he came out feeling pretty good. Not that he won’t be sore, he hasn’t played for a little bit. All in all, I think he came out healthy.”

Jones only played in 28 snaps against Tennessee, but he was crucial to the success Kansas City found when rushing the passer. According to NFL Next Gen Stats, when Jones was on the field, the defense had seven pressures and three sacks. When Jones wasn’t on the field, the defense had just one pressure.

As for whether Jones would be capable of doing more come Super Bowl 54, Reid presumes the answer would be yes. He won’t know for certain, of course, until the practice week commences.
