The Kansas City Chiefs did not hold practice on Wednesday, Jan. 31 ahead of their Super Bowl LVIII tilt with the San Francisco 49ers. They did, however, release an injury report in estimation had they held a practice on Wednesday.
The Chiefs get an extra day off this week, which is how they've prepared for the Super Bowl in past years as well. Typically, they handle their game planning and play install this week from Thursday through Saturday. After that is over they'll travel to Las Vegas, Nevada on Sunday and then continue working through the kinks of the game plan on the road.
“The way it will look here, the guys will come in today, we have a team meeting a little later today," Reid said on Monday. "Then they have a couple of days off, then they will come back on Thursday, and we’ll start our normal week. We’ll try to get everything done here the best we can and once we get down there (to Las Vegas) it’s a good review for us and still keep ourselves in shape, in football shape, so we’re ready to go.”
That said, had the Chiefs practiced today, two key players would be absent from practice due to injury. Let's take a look.
