The Kansas City Chiefs will be without star guard Joe Thuney when they face the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday.
News broke on Friday afternoon that Thuney was ruled out for the pivotal playoff matchup, and against the NFL’s top defensive unit, Kansas City will have to find a way to adjust without their interior anchor.
Mike Edwards, Isiah Pacheco, Willie Gay, and Kadarius Toney are questionable for Sunday's game.
Derrick Nnadi, Skyy Moore (IR), Prince Tega Wanogho (IR), and Joe Thuney are out.

Chiefs fans and NFL analysts were distraught when they found out the news about Thuney and took to social media to make their voices heard about how his absence might impact the outcome of Sunday’s game.
