Chiefs CB L’Jarius Sneed questionable to return with a collarbone injury

One of the best young players for the Chiefs defense is questionable to return with an injury.

The Kansas City Chiefs might be without one of their most impressive rookies for the second half against the Baltimore Ravens.

The Chiefs have announced that CB L’Jarius Sneed is questionable to return to the game with a collarbone injury. Sneed led the NFL in interceptions through the first two weeks of the season with two. He was injured as he made a diving attempt at a third interception.

The rookie has been pivotal in the absence of CB Bashaud Breeland with a four-game suspension and Charvarius Ward with a broken hand. Right now,  Rashad Fenton and Antonio Hamilton are the only healthy cornerbacks on the roster. Ward is active, but it’s unclear if he’s healthy enough to play.

Obviously, it’d be a huge blow for the Chiefs if Sneed was unable to play in the rest of the game. Thankfully, the team has already built a healthy lead ahead of halftime. They’ll just have to ask whoever steps in to keep the play in front of them, especially if they’re matched up with the speedy Ravens wideout Marquise Brown.

Update: Sneed has been ruled out for the remainder of the game. Not a good sign, but let’s hope that it’s just precautionary for the rookie cornerback.
